Adobe starts paying bonuses to Stock contributors whose content is being used to train Firefly | TechCrunch

Sep 13, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Adobe's Firefly generative AI models, which are trained on public domain content or content from Adobe Stock, are now generally available. To compensate the photographers and illustrators whose content was used to train Firefly, Adobe has announced that all eligible Adobe Stock contributors will receive an annual bonus. The first bonus will cover the period from June 2, 2022, to June 3, 2023, which is when the data set used to train Firefly was collected.

The bonus calculation is based on a formula that considers the total number of assets a contributor has in the training data set and the number of assets licensed. However, Adobe has not disclosed the total amount set aside for these bonuses or provided any range estimates. The company stated that the actual bonus depends on the individual contributor, the volume of their content in Stock, and its usage, making it difficult to provide an average. More information about the overall size of the bonus pool will be provided once more details are available.
