(Reuters) Adobe Inc. (ADBE.O) announced on Thursday that it will provide its major business clients with Firefly, an artificial intelligence tool for creating pictures, along with financial protection for copyright disputes involving content created with the tools.
The decision to add compensation comes in the wake of an increase in legal disputes over the use of picture data in AI services provided by businesses like Stability AI and Midjourney, which can produce visuals from as little as a few words of text.
Earlier this year, Adobe produced a test version of Firefly, a service it claims was built using only legally acceptable picture data.
