Getty Images, one of the world’s largest image banks, announced this Tuesday morning (17): Stability is taking legal action against AI in a London courtthe company behind the popular AI art tool Stable Diffusion. The charge relates to “copyright infringement” with allegedly pirated images.
In a statement, the stock photography company claims that Stability AI “illegally copied and processed millions of copyrighted images” to train its software, and Getty Images “has taken legal action against the company in the High Court of Justice in London.” British start.
in an interview with BoundaryGetty Images CEO Craig Peters explained this, “before you act”, your company has issued an official notice of pending litigation in the UK. “The impetus here is that Stability AI uses third-party intellectual property – without permission or consideration – to create a commercial offering for its own financial benefit,” the letter states.
What does Stability AI say?
wanted by Boundary To comment on the issue, Stability AI press representative Angela Pontarolo simply said, “We cannot comment because the Stability AI team has not been informed about this process.”
Getty Images acknowledges in the press release that the company believes in the potential of artificial intelligence to foster creative endeavors, so much so that it “provides licenses to leading technology inventors.”
Despite, “Stability AI did not request such a license from Getty Images” and instead apparently chose to ignore “long-standing legal protections in the pursuit of its autonomous commercial interests.” So even if he denies violations of the law, no way to ignore creators.
