Information on Adobe's Terms and Conditions
Adobe's recent updates to its Terms of Use, set to be fully implemented by June 18, 2024, have sparked significant controversy and backlash among users, particularly within the creative community. Here are the specific changes and the reasons behind the growing mistrust in Adobe:
Ownership and AI Training
Adobe claims that users retain ownership of their content and it will not be used to train generative AI models. However, it has been revealed that Adobe Firefly was partly trained on images from Midjourney, contradicting their previous statements.
Content Access and Usage
Adobe's terms grant the company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and publicly display user content. This has raised concerns about the potential misuse of user content for AI training without fair compensation.
We Fear
We fear that Adobe's terms allow the company to access and potentially misuse our content, including sensitive and confidential work. There is a significant concern about breaches of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and exploitation of user content for corporate gain.
Implications for Creative Professionals
- Intellectual Property Concerns: The broad licensing terms have raised alarms about the potential loss of control over our intellectual property.
- Risk of NDA Violations: We are particularly concerned that Adobe's access to our content could lead to breaches of confidentiality, compromising sensitive projects.
- AI Training and Fair Compensation: There is a significant concern that Adobe might use our content to train AI models without providing fair compensation, leveraging our creativity for corporate gain.
