Our approach to generative AI with Adobe Firefly

Adobe has created a webpage that outlines our approach to developing the generative AI models behind Adobe Firefly. Our aim is to be clear about what we do and do not do, differentiate our approach from much of the broader industry, and provide an example that can hopefully guide the industry to a more responsible place. Visit the page here.

Please reply to this post and let us know what you think. I'm very interested in hearing what you have to say!

Thanks,

Kevin

Nice clear outlines that we can point people to for reliable information about Adobe intentions.

This is good, should be pinned where it is easy to access to send to anyone with questions.

[Dean_Utian]

Agree with others in that the information is good and clearly communicated.

Sigh of relief. A lot of the chatter has been around how Adobe is using user content sneakily.

Since this is not the case, consider announcing this more widely.

Perhaps as a splash screen when AI is used.

It's an interesting and intriguing time, I like your policy on your AI training sources (only with permission). It will I am sure lead to some outstanding work.

I hope this helps

Great!

It's clear, but I think it should also be highlighted on Adobe's homepage under the AI section so that people can better understand. I still see many people claiming that Adobe is training on their personal private content, without realizing that Adobe would never do that, as bad or junk files would lead to poor results. I would like to see a short link to Adobe that explains how their training process works and what type of content is used. While this clarification helps, many users still misunderstand the terms and conditions and believe Adobe is using their content without permission.

I still see a lot of protests against AI-generated content, and I believe there should be embedded metadata to mark that an image was edited with a Gen-AI tool. However, simple adjustments like color grading or cropping should not trigger this.

Great, Clear Information

[Monika Gause]

This is great information, but I do not think it reaches the heart.

Have you ever thought about making this into a video? With a couple of people in responsible positions talking to users? 

[Jess Telmanik]

I love this idea Monika!

AI is controversial, these doubts always arise, where the images are coming from, whether the artists are being paid, whether they use users' content.

Excellent material, save, I want to do a material about this!

Thanks

Maybe just a point of note on the layout of this article itself, but all of the expandable talking points seem to overlap. You have the same phrase multiple times about public-domain and licensed content, such as a Adobe Stock. I think that whole accordian section could be re-written in 1–2 really clear paragraphs.

I appreciate the citations to specific sections in the Terms of Service.

I concur

[Sean McCormack]

Quite clear. Thanks Kevin.

Clear, concise guidelines that provide reliable information on Adobe's intentions, offering a trustworthy resource for reference.

I absolutely love the ethics, and how respectful Adobe is of creators ❤️

I bookmarked the page so I could send people the link when I see the paranoia surfacing. It's extraordinary how deeply we are immersed in the "post-truth" world, however. As often as not, the information is rejected out of hand because "everybody knows the Big Bad Corporation is a robber baron."
