Adobe Firefly is trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. Adobe Stock content is covered under a separate license agreement, and Adobe compensates contributors for the use of that content.

We do not train and have never trained Adobe Firefly on user content.

We recently updated our General Terms of Use to explicitly spell out this commitment (Sections 2.2F and 4.3C2).

We do not mine the web or video hosting sites for content. We only train on content where we have rights or permission to do so.

Many other companies train their generative AI models on content that is collected from the web without permission (often referred to as “publicly available online data”). We do not believe this is fair toward creators, and this is not our approach.

We only train Adobe Firefly on a dataset of public domain content where copyright has expired and licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, where Adobe compensates contributors for the use of that content.

Adobe focuses on training its models in a way that is responsible and respects the rights of creators. We deploy safeguards at each step (prior to training, during generation, at prompt, and during output) to ensure Adobe Firefly does not create content that infringes copyright or intellectual property rights and that it is safe to use for commercial and educational work.

In addition, Adobe provides intellectual property indemnification for enterprise customers for content generated with Adobe Firefly.

You own your content. Adobe makes no claims, and never has, to owning your content, regardless of how it was created.

While this has always been our policy, we recently updated our General Terms of Use to make this clearer (Section 4.2).

Adobe makes no claims of copyright or ownership over content you create with Adobe Firefly.

Adobe is a founding member of the Content Authenticity Initiative, which currently has over 4000 companies signed on and aims to provide transparency on how content was generated and on who created it.

Platform providers can display credentials showcasing provenance. Meta and LinkedIn are the two most recent sites to display Content Credentials.

Adobe has taken and continues to pursue avenues for defending and protecting creator rights, including through proposing the FAIR (Federal Anti- Impersonation Right) Act, which aims to help protect artists from the harmful and unfair use of generative AI that replicates their style and work.

Adobe has prohibitions in its terms of use and has taken steps for its sites, such as Behance, that publicly host creators’ content, to restrict and prevent third parties from scraping customer content to train generative AI models.
