Getty Images Claims Stable Diffusion's Creator 'Copied' 12 Million Copyrighted Images - abtlive

For months, Getty Images has mumbled its simmering resentment over its photos being used for AI image generators. Now, the stock image site has finally turned up the heat on one of the companies crafting these AI systems. "Stable Diffusion at times produces images that are highly similar to and derivative of the Getty Images proprietary content that Stability AI copied extensively in the course of training the model," the lawsuit reads. Gizmodo reached out to Stability AI for comment, but we did not immediately hear back. Getty Images has already started similar legal proceedings in UK court.
