Controversy Surrounds AI-Generated Stock Image Used by Adobe

Controversy Surrounds AI-Generated Stock Image Used by Adobe

ByAudInsights.blog

Recently, Adobe has found itself in a scandal involving an AI-generated stock image of a Gaza explosion. The image was used by multiple small blogs and websites without being labeled as AI-generated. The issue was brought to light by the Australian news outlet Crikey, causing significant pushback on social media platforms.

An Adobe spokesperson responded to the controversy, stating that all generative AI content on Adobe Stock is required to be labeled as such when submitted for licensing. These specific images were appropriately labeled as generative AI from the beginning. Adobe believes that it is essential for customers to be aware of whether AI tools were used to create images they access through Adobe Stock.

Adobe Stock’s Focus on Imagery

Adobe Stock is a service that offers designers and businesses access to a wide range of high-quality curated and royalty-free photos, videos, illustrations, vector graphics, assets, and templates for creative projects. However, it is less known for its editorial or photojournalism imagery compared to competitors like Getty Images. While Adobe Stock previously had partnerships for editorial assets, it no longer includes them as part of its stock offering.

Adobe Stock places emphasis on the storytelling possibilities of its stock imagery, both traditional and AI-generated. On their website, Adobe defines “illustrative editorial” as conceptual imagery designed to accompany articles on current events and newsworthy topics. Adobe clarifies that this is distinct from traditional editorial content, which documents ongoing or past events.

Previous Issues with Adobe Stock

This is not the first time Adobe Stock has faced controversy surrounding generative AI. In June, a group of contributors who provide content for Adobe Stock claimed that their stock images were used without proper notification or consent to train Adobe’s AI model, Firefly. These contributors argued that Firefly’s popularity was diminishing the demand for stock images and cannibalizing Adobe Stock as a platform. Adobe responded by stating that they respect the rights of third parties and require contributors to abide by their terms of service, including those related to generative AI tools.

CCS Insight, an analyst firm, suggests that generative AI’s current hype will fade due to practical challenges in cost, risk, and complexity. The cost of deploying and sustaining generative AI is seen as a major obstacle for many organizations. This prediction coincides with concerns about a global chip shortage and the intensified competition for semiconductor chips. OpenAI is considering developing its own chips to reduce reliance on external suppliers. Currently, OpenAI reportedly spends up to $700,000 per day to maintain the ChatGPT platform.

Finding the Right Repellent for Javelinas Targeting a Northern Arizona Golf Course

Finding the Right Repellent for Javelinas Targeting a Northern Arizona Golf Course

Business

Operators of the Seven Canyons Golf Club in Sedona, Arizona have found a potential solution to fend off javelinas damaging their turf – chili oil. These pig-like peccaries have been causing significant damage to the golf course, with the lack of rain and unusually hot weather likely driving them to forage for food. The golf club has been working with the Arizona Game & Fish Department to find a way to coexist with the javelinas. In the past, attempts to repel them using coyote urine proved unsuccessful. However, chili oil seems to be the most effective repellent currently. The golf club plans to create a spray using a concentrate of chili oil until the temperatures cool down, prompting the javelinas to shift their focus. Finding the right formulation is key to protecting the grass while dealing with the wildlife.

Building and Securing Your Own Private 5G Network: Key Considerations

Business

Business owners who choose to build their own private 5G networks often do so for reasons of security and control. While 5G itself is secure, there are external security risks to consider. Interactions with other IT infrastructure can introduce vulnerabilities. Building and securing a private 5G network requires treating it like a cloud network and applying the same level of security measures. As the usage of 5G expands, the associated security risks increase. It is crucial to regularly monitor the network for potential threats and properly configure network settings to mitigate risks.

Unhappy Russian Soldiers’ Wives Could Become Political Headache for Kremlin

Unhappy Russian Soldiers’ Wives Could Become Political Headache for Kremlin

Business

Reports suggest that the Kremlin is concerned about the growing unhappiness among the wives and relatives of Russian soldiers who are deployed for long periods. Regional officials have been instructed to expedite salary payments to soldiers’ wives to prevent protests and discontent. Recent protests by soldiers’ wives in Moscow have been broken up by the police, and further requests to hold protests have been denied. The Kremlin’s concern is surprising considering the popularity of President Vladimir Putin among the Russian population. However, given the historical influence of soldiers’ wives and mothers in shaping public opinion during previous conflicts, the Kremlin fears that they could become the core of an anti-war movement. Mothers and wives are seen as the only legitimate critics of the military in a country with limited media freedoms and civil society activism. The war in Ukraine, along with economic repercussions and protests, further adds pressure to the Russian government. As the presidential elections approach, censorship efforts are likely to increase under the pretext of combating internal election meddling.
