Adobe will now accept AI-generated stick images on its platform, but the company has set some limitations on the images users may submit on its stock art and photo services.
The company has recently updated its rules on DEcember 5, requiring artists to label any AI-generated work and have permission for any prompt or sources used to create the content.
The Update Policy Provides Caution For Users
According to the new policy all work generated from AI must be submitted as illustrations, and has to be tagged with keywords "generative AI" to avoid confusion.
Interesting Engineering writes that the policy warns users to not submit multiple versions of their pictures based on the same prompt.
Additionally, users were advised to not describe their AI-generated work as depicting real people or places as per the updates policy.
"Our generative AI policy prohibits submissions based on third-party content, including text prompts referring to people, places, property, or an artist's style, without proper authorization," Sarah Casillas of Adobe Stock says.
The company claims that this new policy is intended to help Adobe find a balance between AI-generated art and its website content while avoiding any copyright issues.
"When generative-AI is used and labeled properly to create useful and beautiful content so that customers are clear about the provenance of the assets they are choosing," says Adobe Stock senior director Casillas.
On the company's website, it mentions that artificial intelligence as a tool to create art can tell new narratives when used with good intentions.
It adds that through the new guidelines, creatives can apply their stock knowledge to new content creation opportunities with AI tools as part of their creative process.
Casillas also clarifies that this does not mean that AI-generated art is replacing artists' works, but it is merely a diversification of their portfolio, Interesting Engineering reports.
She adds that properly built AI artworks can enhance creativity to accelerate the creative process to benefit both the consumers of digital assets and contributors who produce such assets.

Adobe Is Embracing AI Unlike Other Platforms
While Adobe is trying to accept the rise or generative AI art, some conte platforms have rejected it by restricting or banning this type of content.
In fact, ZDNet reports that Getty Images said in September that they will not be allowing AI-generated contributions on their database.
"There are real concerns with respect to the copyright of outputs from these models and unaddressed rights issues with respect to the imagery," Getty Images CEO Craig Peters says.
In Connection, some online art communities have also banned AI-generated images over concerts that their platforms will be overwhelmed with such content.
Meanwhile, Shutterstock has teamed with DALL-E creator OpenAI to sell algorithm-based images, to start selling AI-generated art.
Additionally, the platform says that it wants to assist in leading the way in content creation that centers the use of artificial intelligence incorporated in art.
Adobe's welcoming approach to AI-generated art is a step towards the encouragement and empowerment of creators for future innovation in the creative field.
