L016: AI Getty Images vs AI: The Copyright Courtroom Battle Highlights 主題摘要Getty Images challenges Stability AI's unauthorized use of copyrighted photos for training artificial intelligence systems.The trial examines whether AI companies can freely use creative works without permission or payment to creators.The court decision could reshape how the generative AI industry handles intellectual property rights worldwide. Getty Images has initiated a groundbreaking copyright lawsuit against London-based Stability AI, marking the first major legal challenge to the generative artificial intelligence industry. The photography giant alleges that Stability's widely-used image generation tool, Stable Diffusion, was developed through unauthorized use of Getty's vast collection of copyrighted photographs. This landmark case, unfolding in London's High Court, represents a critical test of whether AI companies can continue training their systems on protected creative works without obtaining proper licensing agreements or compensating rights holders for their valuable intellectual property assets. 蓋帝圖像(Getty Images)對倫敦的 Stability AI 公司發起了開創性的版權訴訟,標誌著對生成式人工智慧產業的首次重大法律挑戰。這家圖像素材龍頭公司指控 Stability AI 公司廣泛使用的圖像生成工具「Stable Diffusion」,是透過未經授權使用 Getty 龐大的版權照片收藏而開發的。這個里程碑般的案件在倫敦高等法院展開,代表了對人工智慧公司是否能在不獲得適當授權協議或不補償權利持有者寶貴的智慧財產資產的情況下,繼續使用受保護的創意作品訓練其系統的關鍵考驗。 Getty's legal team argues that Stability AI demonstrated "brazen infringement" by training its AI model on millions of copyrighted images without permission, creating what they describe as a "staggering scale" violation. The company's CEO Craig Peters emphasizes that creators should be asked for consent before their works feed AI systems, rather than being forced into an "opt-out regime." Stability counters by claiming Getty's lawsuit poses an "overt threat" to the entire generative AI industry, arguing that only a tiny proportion of AI-generated outputs resemble Getty's original photographic works. Getty 的法律團隊辯稱, Stability AI 公司透過運用數百萬張版權圖像訓練其人工智慧模型而未經許可,展現了「厚顏無恥的侵權」,造成他們所描述的「驚人規模」違法行為。該公司執行長 Craig Peters 強調,在創作者的作品被輸入人工智慧系統之前應該徵求其同意,而不是被迫進入「選擇退出制度」。 Stability AI 反駁稱, Getty 的訴訟對整個生成式人工智慧產業構成「公然威脅」,辯稱只有極小比例的人工智慧生成輸出與 Getty 的原創攝影作品相似。 The three-week trial features extensive evidence, including seventy-eight thousand pages of documentation and expert testimony from leading universities. Getty's lawyers describe Stability's developers as "tech geeks" who were completely indifferent to copyright concerns, focusing solely on rushing their product to market. Particularly damaging allegations suggest that Stability's training data contained inappropriate content, including child sexual abuse material, though Stability vehemently denies these claims and emphasizes their commitment to preventing misuse. The case examines specific instances where AI-generated images retained Getty's distinctive watermarks, demonstrating direct copying behavior patterns. 為期三週的審判包含大量證據,...
