Getty Images files new lawsuit against Stability AI, here’s why

Getty Images has filed a new lawsuit against artificial intelligence company Stability AI Inc. The stock photo provider has recently made this lawsuit made public and has accused the AI firm of misusing its photos to train its Stable Diffusion AI image-generation system. According to a report by Reuters, the company has alleged that Stability AI has misused over 12 million Getty photos. The lawsuit was filed in the federal court of Delaware, US. This lawsuit follows a separate Getty case against Stability in the UK. The latest case is also related to a class-action complaint that was filed by various artists in California. These artists also accused Stability and other companies related to the “fast-growing field of generative AI.” The report claims that both Getty and Stability are yet to comment on the new lawsuit.

What is Stable Diffusion
