"AI image generators can create unique visuals within seconds from a single text prompt. Tech companies train these image generators on millions of images scraped most commonly from across the internet without attribution -- or, too rarely, licensed from individual creators or collections. When an AI image generator spits out an image from a user prompt, it's taking inspiration (or, in some cases, outright copying) from every human-generated image it's been trained on."
"Getty Images and Perplexity have a licensing agreement. Perplexity can now use Getty's visuals, which include credits. AI image generators have caused copyright issues. AI image generation that fails to credit creators might soon be a thing of the past. A new multi-year licensing agreement between Perplexity and Getty Images, announced Friday, aims to boost both the AI-powered search's image generation tools and cite the creators behind the imagery."
Perplexity and Getty Images signed a multi-year licensing agreement granting Perplexity access to Getty's creative and editorial imagery to enrich visual search and image generation. Perplexity will display images with credits linked back to original sources and provide guidance on legally using licensed imagery. Getty's content supply aims to improve visual quality and creator attribution. AI image generators are typically trained on millions of scraped images, often without attribution or licenses, which can produce outputs that replicate human-created works and trigger copyright disputes and lawsuits.
