Getty is going to offer AI-generated images after all

Getty is officially getting into the AI image business, after banning AI art a year ago. The company's generative AI tool is particularly unique because it's trained on Getty's own database of images, and the resulting content also comes with a royalty-free license. While Getty has seemingly been on an anti-AI bent -- it's also suing Stable Diffusion maker Stability AI over scraping its data -- it's no surprise the company has figured out a way to get into the market. Competing photography services have already announced their own AI solutions: Shutterstock is tapping into Open AI's DALL-E model, while Adobe's Stock is relying on its own Firefly tool as well as accepting some AI generated art. Getty's Generative AI tool is powered by NVIDIA's Edify AI model from its Picasso cloud service.
