Getty Images Jumps 123% to $1.35 After OpenAI Brings Licensed Photos to ChatGPT

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 22

Summary

  • $1.35 a share marked Getty Images' close on Monday, up 123% after the company said OpenAI will add its licensed image library to ChatGPT search, discovery and visual responses.
  • Sunday's display agreement gave investors a clearer commercial AI tie-up for Getty, whose stock had briefly surged more than 200% premarket before trimming gains.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, and Getty did not say whether OpenAI can use the images to train models, alter them, or include all editorial and stock submissions.
  • The deal contrasts with Getty's January 2023 lawsuit against Stability AI, which it accused of unlawfully copying millions of copyrighted images to train Stable Diffusion.
