Shutterstock and OpenAI will collaborate to sell AI-generated stock photos

Shutterstock is enthusiastic about AI-generated art. According to reports, the photo provider has expanded its partnership with OpenAI to begin selling stock images created with the DALL-E 2 AI generator. The approach will provide “direct access” to DALL-E via the Shutterstock website, as well as compensate creators whose images helped develop the technology through a new Contributor Fund. The company also intends to pay royalties to artists whose work is used by the AI.
