Adobe Is Letting Creators Monetize AI Art From Its Firefly Tool
Generative AI art is a popular topic in the creative space – particularly the ethics of capitalising on it. Well, software company Adobe has taken a stand. Soon, it will allow creators to monetize AI art created from Firefly.
Firefly, for those unfamiliar, is the software company’s Generative AI engine that aims to make content creation more accessible for newcomers, those who lack professional design expertise, and even creatives who are looking for an efficient tool to accompany their creation process.
Just last month, Adobe rolled out Firefly for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express and today, it announced the commercial release of Generative AI.

The creative industries are fighting back against UK government proposals to let artificial intelligence companies use copyright-protected work without permission.
The latest protest is a silent album co-written by more than 1,000 musicians, including Kate Bush, and follows a statement signed by 48,000 creatives including Abba’s Björn Ulvaeus in which they warned of a “major, unjust threat” to artists’ livelihoods.

Kate Bush, New Order, & Damon Albarn Among 1,000 UK Artists Protesting Government’s AI Stance With A Silent Album
Last week, the UK government proposed a new policy that would allow tech companies to use copyrighted works to train their artificial intelligence algorithms. Under the proposal, artists and companies could opt out of having their material used for AI, but it would otherwise give the companies unfettered access to people’s creative work without having to license anything. The proposal has incited widespread anger in the UK’s arts communities, and now a team of 1,000 British musicians has released a silent protest album called Is This What We Want?
Writers, publishers, musicians, photographers, movie producers and newspapers have rejected the Labour government’s plan to create a copyright exemption to help artificial intelligence companies train their algorithms.
In a joint statement, bodies representing thousands of creatives dismissed the proposal made by ministers on Tuesday that would allow companies such as Open AI, Google and Meta to train their AI systems on published works unless their owners actively opt out.
