Getty will ban the sale of images generated by artificial intelligence

in the last few months we have been seeing many advances in artificial intelligenceespecially in the field of image generation, which is why some sites and portals have sounded the alarm – and rightly so –in what is comparatively a lawless city.

Now, it is Getty’s turn, and the decision has been clear and concise; the publication and commercialization of images generated by artificial intelligence is prohibited, and several reasons are exposed that have led to this decision, among which, surprisingly, legal reasons stand out.

At a general level, artificial intelligences require a data set to be trained, and from there, to be able to generate their own works derived from this data set. This is where the legal conflict lies, since in general, the tools that we can find – such as Stable Diffusion –They are trained with images that we can find on the Internet, and that generally have their own copyright.

As the intellectual property of a work generated by an AI trained with copyrighted images is a very unknown legal area, Getty has decided that it is not something that it wants to face, despite the fact that they do have an extremely limited set of images for sale that are generated by artificial intelligence.
