It doesn’t seem so long ago that Getty was getting all in a flap and suing Stable Diffusion AI for its unauthorised use of their images. Well, as they say: if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Getty has just announced that it too, will be offering the option of AI-generated images.

Generative AI by Getty Images was launched yesterday in collaboration with NVIDIA. “A new tool that pairs our best-in-class creative content with the latest AI technology for a commercially safe generative AI tool” says the announcement in a LinkedIn post.

Now, Israeli startup Bria AI has teamed up with Getty Images, Alamy and others to take the “responsible” approach to AI imagery. Their AI models are trained on legally licensed stock images.

Getty Images has rejected an offer of $4 billion to buy up the image giant. Trillium Capital allegedly made the offer which was subsequently declined by Getty, saying it was “not sufficiently credible.”

Trillium Capital first made the offer earlier this week with a generous sounding $10 per share. In cash, no less. Interestingly enough, however, Reuters noticed that the company had not attained any previous major aquisitions.

Stock photo platform Getty Images has sued Stability AI, the maker of AI image generator Stable Diffusion. Getty alleges that the tech company unlawfully scraped millions of copyrighted images that Getty owns or represents. As they reportedly never asked for permission to do so, Getty claims that Stability AI benefited commercially, while harming the artists whose work it used to train its AI.

It seemed inevitable after Getty images aquired the free image site Unsplash last year that they would eventually start a paid version. Well, it actually happened. Unsplash has announced a paid tier called Unsplash+ which will be a subscription-based format. But don’t worry, the free version will still be available.

Unsplash+ offers paying members access to “curated content” available for commercial licenses with extra legal protection and unlimited downloads.

It looks like the photography world is starting to get a little sick of AI-generated imagery. Or at least, much of it is sick of it being classed as “photography”. Last week, UK-based model and photographer website PurplePort AI-generated images on its website and now it seems that so have Getty Images/iStock and the “free” stock image website Unsplash.

Both platforms have made announcements in the past few hours stating in no uncertain terms that AI-generated images are banned from their platforms. Both companies also stress that this only applies to AI-generated images, and not human-created 3D render submissions or digital editing tools that are designed to enhance or manually create images from scratch (like Photoshop and Illustrator).

Getty Images, one of the biggest stock image platforms, has banned AI-generated images. If you want to upload and sell work you created through DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, or any other text-to-image tool, you won’t be able to do it there.

The reason? Potential copyright issues. Getty is concerned about the legality of such content, so they want to protect the site’s customers from unwanted copyright claims.
