In response to the issue, Adobe, along with other tech and journalism organizations, is working on the Content Authenticity Initiative. This initiative aims to implement Content Credentials, which use metadata to highlight the source of images, whether human or machine-learning software.

Key takeaways:
- AI-generated images depicting the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict are being sold on Adobe's stock image library and used in online news articles, despite being fictional.
- Adobe gives artists a 33 percent cut of the revenue from these images, which can range from 33 cents to $26.40 per download.
- While these images are labeled as "generated by AI" in Adobe's library, this disclosure is often not included when the images are downloaded and used elsewhere online.
