Lobster adds Verizon Cloud to its AI-powered photo licensing arsenal

Lobster, a Startup Battlefield company from 2014, is breathing new life into its AI-powered media licensing platform by partnering with Verizon Cloud. Advertisers, publications, agencies and will now have the means to license images sourced from social media and now, Verizon Cloud. For every image sold, 75% of the profit goes towards the contributor, ranging in skill from pro photographer to regular Instagrammer. For regular users (you!), this means is that if you sign-up for Lobster and upload images to the service from your Verizon Cloud, you can proceed to license and sell them for profit. Lobster's artificial intelligence engine kicks in by analyzing these images, building a neural network and enabling detailed search methods, thus enabling the discovery of your work.
