AI visualization tools have gained immense popularity in recent months. In particular, Stable Diffusion, Midjourney and DALL-E 2 took the lead in this regard, while the images obtained with these tools caused great controversy in the digital art world.
While some artists disliked the use of images created by artificial intelligence, others thought that this should be supported. Today, Adobe, one of the largest companies whose opinion on this issue is expected, announced its side.
Adobe will accept AI images as stock images:
In the announcement shared within the Stock service, Adobe announced that it has determined the main principles for images created with artificial intelligence. The company stated that images that comply with these principles will be accepted within Stock, that is, images will be allowed to be sold for a fee.
So, what rules will have to be followed in order to sell the image created with artificial intelligence on Adobe Stock?
Images created with artificial intelligence will basically have the same rules that are required to be met for other image applications: Required permissions must be obtained for people and properties that can be identified in the image.
However, in addition to these basic rules, the new AI policy will not allow third-party content that does not have the appropriate authorization. Users will not be able to post images on Stock created with text prompts that refer to people, places, property, or an artist’s art style.
In addition, all artificial intelligence images submitted to Stock will have to be uploaded with the ‘Generative AI’ tag when uploading to the platform. In other words, it will be stated that a photo was produced by artificial intelligence.
Why is Adobe’s decision important?
Adobe hosts many of the platforms that are the backbone of the digital art industry. Therefore, this decision will have a great weight in the industry’s view of artificial intelligence.
Until now, giant names such as Getty Images and Shutterstock were among the platforms that opposed artificial intelligence images, unlike Adobe.
