Getty Exposes Adobe Firefly as AI Reject
Getty Images has reiterated its rejection of AI-generated content in an email to creators, specifically calling out Adobe's recently released Firefly-powered generative AI tools. The stock photography agency's submission policy remains unchanged, banning the use of AI generative models, including Adobe's Creative Cloud tools. Getty's stance contrasts with competitor Shutterstock, which allows AI-generated content and has even paid photographers from its AI contributor fund. Getty's method for identifying AI-generated images is unclear, but it may involve EXIF data or an internal algorithm.
