Adobe launches AI program Firefly, including image generator
Adobe plans to integrate Firefly into other programs
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Adobe announced a new "family of creative generative [artificial intelligence] models" called Firefly this week.
In a Monday release, the company said its first model would empower customers to generate high-quality images and text effects.
Trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content and public domain content where copyright has expired, that model is designed to generate content safe for commercial use.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"Adobe Stock’s hundreds of millions of professional-grade, licensed images are among the highest quality in the market and help ensure Adobe Firefly won’t generate content based on other people’s or brands’ IP," it said, also assuring that Adobe would continue to prioritize countering potential harmful bias as future Firefly models leverage a variety of assets, tech and data from Adobe and others.
