Adobe Content Analysis - Does it feed AI Art Engines?

There are artists claiming this translates to the facilitation of AI art engines, which as many of us know is a hot topic right now. Are there any staff members that can clarify this issue?

I personally do not believe based on reading the help page above that this is the case (because I'm pretty sure this has been part of the CC suite terms since its inception), but I would like clarification. As an artist, I do not want to opt in if this is related to AI art in any way. Thank you.

probably not beyond the publically available information.

That's my guess too, but I would really like to find a definitive answer. People work on NDA work in Adobe products, so I don't imagine that legally they could feed AI Art engines in that way (but I'm also not a lawyer, I'm just speculating)

I also recognize that Machine learning =/= AI... it's a much less advanced subset of AI. I guess I'm just mainly concerned about the fearmongering going on. I don't want to inadvertently contribute to something I'm morally against (AI art).

you can contact adobe support yourself and see if you can get an answer.  let us know.

there are 3 ways to contact adobe; chat, phone and twitter:

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies, and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

phone:
https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/phone.html

twitter:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative. ie, double check for an employee badge if contacted in the forums and look for an adobe.com domain in the email address if you click reply to an email. then check again and be very suspicious. any other method of contacting (or offering to contact you) is almost certainly a scam, https://community.adobe.com/t5/using-the-community-discussions/staying-safe-in-the-adobe-support-com...
