Getty Images Sues Stability AI for Scraping Millions of Copyrighted Photos

Alana Mastrangelo 19 Jan 2023

Getty Images is suing Stability AI, the creators of the popular AI art tool known as Stable Diffusion, for scraping millions of images from its site. The stock photo company claims the creators of the AI tool have engaged in copyright violation and “chose to ignore viable licensing options and long-standing legal protections in pursuit of their stand-alone commercial interests.”

“Stability AI unlawfully copied and processed millions of images protected by copyright and the associated metadata owned or represented by Getty Images absent a license to benefit Stability AI’s commercial interests and to the detriment of the content creators,” Getty said in a statement shared with the Verge.

At the very least, don't go posting millions of getty images without a license.

In many [most] cases, how can one even know from where a posted image is actually originating?
