Adobe to Sell Stock Images Generated By AI

Posted December 5, 2022 at 8:03pm by iClarified · 3058 views
Adobe Stock has announced new guidelines for submission of stock images generated by artificial intelligence.

"Early generative AI technologies have raised questions about how it should be properly used. Adobe has deeply considered these questions and implemented a new submission policy that we believe will ensure our content uses AI technology responsibly by creators and customers alike."

Adobe notes that stock contributors are now using AI tools to grow their portfolios and increase earning potential. Going forward these submissions will need to meet the company's guidelines for AI generated content and be labelled as generative AI submissions.



Releases are still required for identifiable people and property, and standard IP indemnification is included in the unlikely event that a claim arises regarding an asset. In addition, our generative AI policy prohibits submissions based on third-party content — including text prompts referring to people, places, property, or an artist's style — without proper authorization. AI-generated content is offered under the same licensing terms as other sources of content. Our policy asks our contributors to proactively label their generative AI content; we'll soon add more features to make this content even more transparent.
