📸 Shutterstock and AI Training Collaborations

Shutterstock expanded its partnership with OpenAI through a six-year deal to supply high-quality training data, including images, videos, and music. This collaboration grants Shutterstock early access to OpenAI's technologies, enriching its stock content library with new editing features. Additionally, it aims to bring generative AI capabilities to mobile platforms through Giphy. Shutterstock has established a contributor fund to compensate artists whose work aids in training its AI, signaling a commitment to ethical AI use and creator compensation. This partnership reflects Shutterstock's strategic move to integrate AI into creative workflows, contrasting with competitors and highlighting its role in advancing AI technology within the creative industry​

Why It Matters:

• Offers creatives an expanded toolbox for high-quality imagery creation.

• Sets a precedent for responsible AI training with ethically sourced data.
