Picsart and Getty are making an AI image generator entirely trained on licensed content

Getty has partnered up with Picsart, a popular photo-editing platform, to build an AI image generator that's entirely trained on licensed stock images. The companies are calling it a "responsible, commercially-safe" alternative to current platforms. The service will only be available to paid Picsart subscribers and the whole thing recalls Adobe's Firefly AI model. That generator is also trained on stock images, though not exclusively. Adobe recently outraged users by updating its terms of service to indicate that it could access and use people's work to train AI models.
