Stock Images created by AI coming - Adobe
Many humans will lose their jobs very soon in Adobe as the company plans to use AI to create stock images it sells to customers. From LinkedIn News.
Adobe posted solid quarterly earnings Thursday, defying Wall Street's fears that the software giant's numbers would reflect broader economic woes that have plagued the tech industry. Fourth-quarter revenue jumped 10% over last year to US$4.53 billion, and the company left its guidance for the new fiscal year unchanged. CFO Dan Durn said Adobe's diversified business model is helping it weather the storm. Meanwhile, Adobe's US$20 billion acquisition of Figma remains on track despite "expected" anti-trust probes, The Register reports.
- Adobe said last week that it would begin selling stock images made with the help of artificial intelligence. “We’re in a golden age of content creation," Durn told Barron's, "and generative AI will only accelerate that.”

Adobe will begin to sell stock images made with artificial intelligence tools, the software firm tells Axios. The images must be submitted with an AI label, but in testing, AI-generated art "has been performing well," says Sarah Casillas, a senior director at Adobe. AI is a controversial topic in art and design. Some creators worry it will eliminate jobs, while others say there are unexplored legal risks, including potential copyright challenges. Adobe competitor Getty Images cited such risks in its September decision to bar AI content from its platform.
