I have an Adobe subscription, and I generated an AI image using Adobe Firefly. Two teens walking toward a home, backs to camera, no visible faces. May I use it in a client's advertising?

    You could also use Adobe Boards and choose a stock image. Stock images are not generated my AI. They would be commercially safe.

    just remember, when using AI images, if you are in the EU (Europe), California, you will need to add a watermark the image w a AI tag to indicate that the image has been generated by AI.

    To be explicitly clear:
    Firefly models are in Red. They are the Native Adobe models
    3rd party models are in white. They have their own disclosure(s) about being commercially safe.

    This is an important question for anyone using AI-generated visuals in client advertising. Having an active Adobe subscription and creating the image through Adobe Firefly can provide certain commercial-use rights, but it’s still worth checking the specific Firefly terms that apply to the image and your subscription. Since the image shows two teens from behind with no visible faces, privacy and likeness concerns may be lower, but the overall context of the advertisement still matters. I would also make sure the image doesn’t unintentionally resemble a real person, copyrighted character, trademarked property, or another protected creative work. Before publishing it for a client, reviewing Adobe’s current Firefly commercial-use guidelines and your client’s own advertising requirements is a smart step. Keeping a record of how and when the image was generated can also be useful for future reference.

    To be more specific, that would be determined by the client. It is their decision to use it or not, depending on their terms and conditions. So be clear to them that the asset in question is AI generated.
