Getty Images has announced that it is suing Stability AI for copyright infringement. The image library company claims that the developers of Stable Diffusion, an AI tool, unlawfully used Getty Images materials and metadata to train the AI without obtaining a license. Getty Images believes that AI has the potential to stimulate creative endeavors, but that Stability AI ignored viable licensing options and legal protections in pursuit of their commercial interests. This comes after three artists filed a class-action lawsuit against Stability AI, Midjourney, and DeviantArt for alleged copyright infringements.
