Clarification on generative AI submission guidelines

[Mat Hayward]

As generative AI evolves, we want to share a clarification to our generative AI submission guidelines. We prohibit generative AI content with titles that imply that the content depicts an actual newsworthy event from being accepted to Adobe Stock. For more information, please see our recent blog post and updated guidelines.

Let me know if you have any questions,

The same rules are also true for edited images. Stalin very often modified pictures, so that the vision was a different one. USSR did it on a systematic basis, other nations did it more or less regularily, especially for war pictures. 

The big issue are the non-journalists who use no standards to propagate their messages, including the certificate of birth of some US presidents or pictures of war that are screenshots from war games.

Legitimate news channels rarely use fake images unless that's the technology they're reporting about.  In other words, you might use an AI image for a story about Chat GPT or Open AI as it's relevant to that story.

Hi, I am a big user of Adobe Stock - my problem is that other people create photo boards for me which do not have anything indicating the photos are AI besides the occasional title (even then on long titles the info only appears when I open the photo). Also some AI photos are still not including Generated by AI in the title. If this is not a requirement, would like it to be. Even better, maybe AI generated pictures have an icon at the beginning of the title to easily identify without having to dig. This would really improve my workflow when scrolling through boards that someone else has created without proper filters. Thanks -

Adobe removed the requirement to include "Generative AI" in the title early last year when they implemented the Gen AI  checkbox that Contributors are required to choose on each of their images. It is unlikely that they will ever go back to requiring that label in the title, with >50 million AI assets now in the database. I suppose the solution for your case will be to implement internal practices to identify such assets.

Are there any plans to add the AI checkbox for Audio so that can be uploaded too now that generative audio has gotten so far?

As contributors like yourself, we wouldn't have such information available to us and I doubt Adobe employees are at liberty to say.

Audio is not sourced from standard contributors as far as I know.
