Getty Images Sues Stability AI for Generative AI Art's Alleged Copyright Violations - Voicebot.ai

Getty is bringing its intellectual property rights infringement complaint to London's High Court of Justice. Stability AI already faces a separate major legal battle begun this week when a group of artists filed a class action lawsuit in California against it, along with Stable Diffusion platforms Midjourney and DeviantArt. Some of the billions of pictures in the LAION-5B dataset employed to train Stable Diffusion may have been scraped from the web, including Getty's servers, without their creators' awareness. Notably, Stability AI has suggested there will be an opt-out option for any artist whose work might be used to train new iterations of Stable Diffusion. Getty hasn't mentioned any financial compensation or desire to shut down Stable Diffusion in its case.
