The new tool will tap Getty’s bank of creative images, but not its news photo collection, part of an effort to prevent the creation of deepfakes, chief executive officer Craig Peters said.
The new image generator will not allow users to incorporate trademarked material or assets they do not own – so there is no way to create something like the viral Pope Francis wearing a Balenciaga puffer coat image, Peters said.
