Adobe Faces Backlash for AI-Generated Art Mimicking Ansel Adams

The Ansel Adams estate criticizes Adobe for violating its own AI ethics policy by selling AI-generated images inspired by the iconic photographer.

Adobe removed the images after the Adams estate publicly condemned the practice on Threads.
Adobe Stock's terms prohibit AI-generated images using prompts that reference specific artists.
The Adams estate claims it has repeatedly contacted Adobe about similar issues since August 2023.
Adobe asserts it uses a rigorous moderation process to prevent such violations.
The estate demands Adobe take proactive measures to protect artists' intellectual property.
