"Getty Images Revolutionizes Subscriptions with AI Image Generator Access"
Getty Images has launched an AI image-generating tool that will be available to hundreds of thousands of users. The tool can create pictures based on user prompts and Getty will indemnify customers against potential copyright disputes. The company will also pay artists on a recurring basis for their contributions to training the AI system. The release follows Microsoft's promise to provide indemnity coverage for its AI CoPilot services. The use of AI art tools has sparked a debate around intellectual property ownership, and Getty has previously filed a copyright claim against Stability AI. Getty's AI-generated content will belong to the customer and will not be added to its existing content libraries.
