OpenAI has reached a multi-year partnership with visual content licensing giant Getty Images, granting access to licensed images for ChatGPT.

Odaily reported that OpenAI has announced a multi-year image licensing agreement with Getty Images, integrating its licensed visual content into ChatGPT's search and discovery features. Getty Images has previously sued AI companies over copyright issues related to AI training data, but the progress of those lawsuits has not fully met expectations. As AI-generated content capabilities improve, the core value of media and copyright agencies is shifting from individual works to "compliant licensed content libraries" and the distribution channels for content integrated into AI products. Copyright disputes will persist, but commercial collaboration models are becoming a key direction for the integration of the AI industry and the content sector. (Forbes)
