Some artists have filed class-action lawsuits against AI image and video generation companies such as Stability AI and Midjourney.
Now a new platform for creators, Wirestock, has emerged with a plan to hopefully satisfy both opposing sides: the platform allows photographers and artists to upload their works online and license them out through popular image services including Getty, Adobe Stock, and Canva, while at the same time, giving them the option to allow AI companies to train on that work in exchange for payment.
“All major [AI] players are quickly shifting to using ethically licensed content,” said Wirestock CEO Mikayel Khachatryan in a video call with VentureBeat last week. “This is partly due to legal pressures but also because it’s a practical solution for companies needing reliable data.”
