In recent years, high-quality image generation services using AI have emerged, but some of the images used to train these AIs are protected by copyright. Therefore, there are concerns that there may be rights issues with images generated by AI, and this is one of the reasons why companies are hesitant to use AI-generated images.

In fact, Getty Images filed a lawsuit against Stability AI, which developed the image generation AI Stable Diffusion, for ``infringing the intellectual property rights of 12 million pieces of content owned or represented by Getty Images.''

Meanwhile, on September 26, 2023, Japan time, Getty Images announced the AI image generation service ``Generation AI by Getty Images'' developed in partnership with major semiconductor manufacturer NVIDIA. Users can give instructions using text prompts and specify things like image style, aspect ratio, and overall color tone.



'Generated AI by Getty Images' is built with

Picasso , NVIDIA's custom machine learning model, and uses only data from Getty Images' high-quality content and creative material library for training. Therefore, the images generated are free of copyright issues and can be safely used commercially by companies. Getty Images explains that each time a user downloads AI-generated content, it comes with 'unlimited compensation.'

Please note that images generated using 'Generation AI by Getty Images' will not be added to Getty Images' photo stock, so there is no possibility that the same image will be used by other users. On the other hand, it was also specified that the prompts used by the user and the images generated will be used to train the model of 'Generated AI by Getty Images'.



In fact, Emilia David, a reporter for the overseas media The Verge, reported her impressions after trying ``Generation AI by Getty Images'' and testing the image generation function. In fact, David generated a photo with the prompt ``A ballet dancer, In arabesque position, On a grand stage, Background slightry blurred.'' The results are below. Mr. David said that the quality of the generated photos was higher than he expected, and when he sent a message to a friend, he was able to successfully fool them.



On the other hand, Getty Images has limits on the images that users can generate, such as ``a photo of President Joe Biden standing in front of the White House'' and ``a photo of a wind cat created by Andy Warhol or Jeff Koons .'' Something like this cannot be generated. Getty Images explained to The Verge that the model cannot generate the correct person based on a real person's name to avoid influencing real-life events.

Getty Images also revealed that it will share a portion of the tool's revenue with the creators of the content used to train the models underlying Generative AI by Getty Images. 'On a regular annual basis, we share revenue generated from our tools with contributors of content used to train our AI generators,' a Getty Images spokesperson said in an email to TechCrunch. There is a set formula based on many different factors, and each contributor will receive different payouts from the tool accordingly.'
