Perplexity AI has secured a multi-year licensing partnership with Getty Images, granting its users access to the vast library of stock and editorial images. As part of the agreement, Perplexity will integrate Getty's extensive collection into its search and discovery tools, ensuring accurate attribution to maintain compliance with copyright laws.
The deal comes as generative AI continues to gain traction, but also raises concerns about ownership and usage rights. In recent months, Perplexity has faced several high-profile lawsuits, including a multi-million-dollar suit from Japanese media groups Nikkei and Asahi Shimbun over allegations of unauthorized content scraping and incorrect attribution.
Reddit recently took the company to court for allegedly using scraped data without proper licensing. The situation highlights the complexities surrounding AI-generated content and its relationship with intellectual property laws. Even dictionary publishers, like Merriam-Webster, have turned to litigation against Perplexity.
Getty itself has navigated similar waters in recent years. In 2022, it banned AI-generated art from its platform citing concerns over copyright infringement. The company later sued AI art tool Stable Diffusion for allegedly processing millions of protected images without permission.
The partnership with Getty, however, marks a significant development for Perplexity as it aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of its content delivery. According to Nick Unsworth, Vice President Strategic Development at Getty Images, "partnerships such as this support AI platforms in increasing the quality and accuracy of information delivered to consumers, ultimately building a more engaging and reliable experience."

. I mean, come on Perplexity, you're basically stealing people's work and passing it off as your own... or in this case, Getty's work 
. It's like, if you're gonna use someone else's images, make sure you're giving them the props they deserve.
.
. And I guess this partnership with Perplexity does show that they're willing to work together to improve the quality of AI-generated content... but we should still be keeping an eye on these companies 
.
.
. It feels like they're just trying to avoid those lawsuits by getting legit credentials from a well-established brand. But what about the original creators of these images? Are we really going to forget who made them work for some faceless AI corporation? 
newsflash, gotta respect the IP laws, right? 
but at the same time, AI's getting crazy fast, and it's hard to keep up with what's cool and what's not 
. I mean, can't we just have some chill guidelines or something? 
.
. With AI-generated content on the rise, it's getting harder to keep track of who owns what. It feels like we're living in a whole new world where traditional copyright laws just don't apply anymore 
. I guess only time will tell how this partnership with Getty will all shake out 
.
. Anyway, have you guys ever noticed how some foods are just so versatile? Like, a good bowl of ramen can be paired with literally anything from the meal 
. Oh, and I just had an idea for a new recipe - Perplexity and Getty Images partnership, anyone? 
. But at the same time, this partnership is just another example of how these massive corporations are profiting off our collective creative output 
. But at the same time, you've got to wonder if this partnership with Getty Images is a good move for Perplexity in the long run...I mean, it's definitely going to help them improve their accuracy and reliability, but are they taking on too much debt by committing to such a large deal? 
. And now they're integrating Getty's huge image library into their search tools... that's some serious firepower 
. Wonder how this'll affect the future of AI-generated content 
.
. Still, it's gonna be interesting to see how this plays out with all these lawsuits and whatnot...
The recent licensing partnership between Perplexity AI and Getty Images is a crucial step forward for both parties. As we navigate the complexities surrounding AI-generated content and intellectual property laws, it's refreshing to see two industry giants collaborate on a mutually beneficial agreement 
. now we got Perplexity & Getty workin together to make sure everything is legit 
. and yeah, lawsuits are gonna happen... but let's be real, AI is just tryna evolve & ppl are just tryna keep up 
like totally awesome that Perplexity is getting partnered with Getty Images!! 
, but at least now they're trying to do it right 
. But at the same time, I'm a bit concerned about what this means for creators and artists who actually put in the work to make something original 
. Is Getty really going to give Perplexity carte blanche to use their images without giving proper credit? 
And what happens when AI-generated content gets used in a way that's not exactly what the creators intended?
