Artificial intelligence technologies have started to spread all over our lives in recent years. We now use self-driving cars. In addition, lately, artificial intelligences that transform texts into pictures have started to come to the fore. Even the Great Leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk and the National Anthem were visualized with artificial intelligence.
Yes; we are talking about artificial intelligence technologies such as DALL-E, which you have heard about recently. When we look at the latest developments in the sector, we see that this artificial intelligence technology will cause serious discussions in the future. Because Shutterstock, known as the world’s most popular photo sales platforms, and Getty Images have already started to quarrel. Let’s see what happened together.
Shutterstock and Dall-E agreed: Getty Images came out hard!
Popular photo purchasing platform Shutterstock made a statement that fell like a bombshell today. Announcing a wide-ranging collaboration with Open AI, the developer of DALL-E, Shutterstock announced that DALL-E and Shutterstock will start working in an integrated manner in a few months. Moreover, after this integration, the sale of images created using other artificial intelligence platforms will be prohibited. In a statement made by Shutterstock CEO Paul Hennessy; “Environments that express creativity are constantly evolving. We recognize that it is our great responsibility to embrace this evolution and to ensure that the generative technology that drives innovation is based on ethical practices.” statements were included.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said: “We are excited that Shutterstock is making DALL-E images available to their customers through our API. We look forward to future collaborations as AI becomes an integral part of artists. Both statements were an indication of satisfaction with the cooperation. But Getty Images, one of Shutterstock’s biggest competitors, doesn’t think so…
Getty Images CEO: They don’t think about the legal and ethical side of the images!
In parallel with the partnership announcement, the name that made the statements was Craig Peters, CEO of Getty Images. Speaking to The Verge, Peters announced a partnership. So much so that a partnership was established between Getty Images and Bria, which offers photo editing with artificial intelligence. Thus, Getty Images users would be able to edit their photos with a few taps. In the statement made by Craig Peters, it was stated that the decision taken in September 2022 to ban the sale of images created with platforms such as DALL-E will continue.
Peters said that other photo sales platforms do not support selling AI-powered images, and Getty Images’ stance is clear at this point. This was because it was unknown who owns the copyright of the images sold with artificial intelligence. Moreover, no one knew what would happen in the future. It would also be unethical to sell images made by artificial intelligence. Saying that there is a lot of unknown in this field and that he does not feel any responsibility by referring to Shutterstock, the CEO of Getty Images states that it is not right to act recklessly…
So what do you think about this? Which of the explanations of both parties seems more plausible to you? You can share your ideas with us…
