The Verge spoke with Getty Images CEO Craig Peters to clarify the new policy. “There are real copyright issues with the output of these models, and unresolved rights issues with the images, the image metadata, and the people involved in these images,” Peters told the publication.
Getty Images is a large repository of stock and archival photos and illustrations often used by publications to showcase articles after paying royalties.
Getty’s move follows image synthesis bans imposed earlier this month by small art community sites, who found their sites filled with AI-generated work that outweighs art created without the use of these tools.
