Adobe Stock is one of the well-known platforms for providing images but now, it has been announced that the sale and distribution of images generated by artificial intelligence submitted by artists
Although AdobeStock decided to incorporate this new type of content within its stock image service, this does not imply that the sale of images generated by computer be free and unrestricted. The company indicated that for artists to be able to share this type of images on the platform, they must be the owners or have the Copyright of these productions
