Getty's AI Generator Trained on Licensed Images

This news highlights Getty Images' move to create an AI image generator using only its licensed image library. This is significant because it addresses copyright concerns and potentially offers a more legally compliant alternative to AI models trained on scraped data. The focus on licensed images could also lead to higher quality outputs, as the training data is curated and professionally produced. However, the success of this model will depend on the diversity and size of Getty's image library, and whether it can compete with models trained on much larger datasets.
