Adobe Stock to Accept AI Generated Images

I received an email today from Adobe Stock announcing that it will now accept AI generated images from users' accounts.  The email stipulated that all submissions must adhere to the generative AI content guidelines and must clearly be labeled "Generative AI" in the image title.  

The same email referenced an Adobe Blog Post entitled "Bringing the next wave of Artificial Intelligence to Creative Cloud" which announced that Adobe intends to "develop an approach that centers on the needs of creatives by integrating Generative AI in Adobe creative tools."  As an example the post asked readers to "imagine, for instance, AI within Photoshop that generates rich, editable PSDs."  Nor is Photoshop the only Adobe app to be mentioned in the post.  It goes on to say that "Generative AI incorporated into Adobe Express will help less experienced creators achieve their unique goals."

The same blog post also referenced the Content Authenticity Initiative that aims to establish "an open industry standard for content authenticity and provenance" by providing off-the-shelf open-source tools to integrate content credentials into your site, app, or service."  This last, of course, is of utmost importance for any creators wishing to retain credit for their AI creations.
