Getty Images CEO: Spending Millions on One AI Copyright Case | Entrepreneur
Briefly

Getty Images has filed a lawsuit against Stability AI, alleging that the AI company has illegally used over 12 million of its copyright-protected photos for training its AI models. CEO Craig Peters reveals that the legal battle is costing Getty millions, making it a selective endeavor as the overall expense of litigation can be prohibitively high. He asserts that while copyright infringements occur frequently, pursuing all cases is untenable, thus justifying the focus on Stability AI due to the magnitude of the infringement.
Getty Images' CEO Craig Peters stated, "We're spending millions and millions of dollars in one court case," emphasizing the high costs involved in the ongoing lawsuit against Stability AI.
Peters argued that AI companies claim paying for access to creative works would stifle innovation, yet argue that appropriating copyrighted material without permission or compensation is fundamentally wrong.
