Adobe says user data not used to train generative AI models • The Register

Adobe chief product officer Scott Belsky has responded to criticism of the company's content analysis policies by saying it has never used customers' creations to train generative AI models. Artists were furious to learn Adobe could automatically analyze their audio, video or text documents stored on its cloud servers to develop and improve its AI products and services unless they opted out earlier this month. Fears that their work would be used to train generative text-to-image models capable of copying their style sparked an outcry. "We have never, ever used anything in our storage to train a generative AI model," Belsky insisted in an interview with Bloomberg this week. Belsky said the content analysis policy was geared towards improving existing features for its graphics software rather than for developing new AI image generation tools.
