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

The DALL-E integration will be available in the “next few months.” Importantly, Shutterstock will prohibit AI-generated art created outside of OpenAI’s platform. Of course, this protects the companies’ business models, but it also ensures that Shutterstock can identify the content used and pay the producers appropriately. Payments will be made every six months and will include revenue from training data as well as image royalties.
