Adobe pushes Firefly AI into big business, with financial cover

Adobe Inc said on Thursday it will offer Firefly, its artificial intelligence tool for generating images, to its large business customers, with financial indemnity for copyright challenges involving content made with the tools.

The move to include compensation comes amid a rise in lawsuits around the image data used in AI services from companies such as Stability AI and Midjourney that can generate imagery from just a few words of text.

Adobe earlier this year released a test version of Firefly, its own service which it says was created with legally safe image data.

The first-of-its-kind case comes as generative AI programs face heightened scrutiny over their ability to spread misinformation and “hallucinate” false outputs, including fake legal precedent.

Use AI to regulate AI, Google executive says

Most of the focus in Washington on AI centers on how agencies should regulate its use by the private sector, with the FDA planning rules for its use in health care.

Regulators in charge of ensuring that artificial intelligence helps — and doesn’t harm — patients could use AI to do it, a former FDA official said Wednesday at POLITICO’s Health Care Summit.

Bakul Patel, who for years worked on digital health initiatives at the FDA before becoming head of digital health regulatory strategy at Google, said regulators need to think differently about how they set rules for the nascent technology.

“We need to start thinking: How do we use technology to … make technology a partner in the regulation?” he said.
