Getty Images and Picsart, a popular photo editing platform, have joined forces to create a novel AI image generator. This unique tool aims to address copyright concerns plaguing current AI image generation models.
The training data will comprise exclusively of licensed stock images
The key difference lies in the training data. Unlike other models that might use a mix of sources, the Picsart and Getty generator will be trained exclusively on licensed stock images from Getty Images. This ensures all the content used to create the AI model is authorized for commercial use. The companies are touting this approach as a “responsible, commercially-safe” alternative. Images generated by this model will come with full commercial rights, allowing users to freely incorporate them into their projects without copyright worries.
Similar to Adobe’s recent attempt with their Firefly AI model, the Picsart and Getty tool will be a paid service accessible only to Picsart’s subscribing users. This approach avoids the controversy surrounding Adobe’s plan to potentially use user-generated content for training their AI model.
Getty seems committed to ethical practices. They’ve assured users that photographers whose work contributes to the training data will be “compensated creators included in the dataset on an annual basis.”
While a specific launch date remains unknown, the Picsart and Getty Images AI image generator is expected to be released later this year. It will be accessible through Picsart’s API services, allowing integration with various creative workflows.
