Change to Adobe terms & conditions outrages many professionals2024-06-07 17:06 by DanielaTags: Adobe
A change to Adobe terms & conditions for apps like Photoshop has outraged many professional users, concerned that the company is claiming the right to access their content, use it freely, and even sub-licence it to others.Even unpublished and in-progress projects may be used to train AI models. Users of various Adobe apps including Photoshop and Substance Painter received a pop-up notice on Wednesday saying "we may access your content through both manual and automated methods, such as for content review." The company is requiring users to agree to the new terms in order to continue using their Adobe apps, locking them out until they do so... "Adobe accesses user content for a number of reasons, including the ability to deliver some of our most innovative cloud-based features, such as Photoshop Neural Filters and Remove Background in Adobe Express, as well as to take action against prohibited content," the company said at the time. "Adobe does not access, view or listen to content that is stored locally on any user's device." On a separate page that breaks down how Adobe uses machine learning, Adobe says it doesn't use content stored locally on your device, so only content that's stored in the Creative Cloud. Otherwise, content that users make public, such as contributions to Adobe Stock, submissions to be featured on Adobe Express and to be used as tutorials in Lightroom are used to "train [Adobe's] algorithms and thus improve [its] products and services." Such uses of public content have already been in place since Adobe launched its AI model Firefly, which generates images and powers other AI features like Generative Fill. Adobe touts Firefly as commercially safe, but has also said Firefly was trained on public domain data, which includes AI-generated images from its competitor Midjourney - a product that artists allege was the result of copyright infringement.
