Getty Images has initiated a critical copyright lawsuit against Stability AI in London, claiming that the AI company improperly used millions of its copyrighted images for training its Stable Diffusion model without permission. Getty emphasizes that the lawsuit is not an attack on technological innovation but rather a defense of intellectual property rights. This legal battle reflects broader concerns regarding the data sourcing practices of AI developers and may significantly impact the generative AI sector, as various stakeholders push for stronger protections for creators.
The wider dispute is about technological innovation and freedom of ideas, a Stability AI spokesperson stated before the trial began.
It is not a battle between creatives and technology, where a win for Getty Images means the end of AI, said Getty's legal counsel.
