Adobe has introduced an indemnity clause designed to protect enterprise users of its AI-powered creative tools. The clause promises to cover copyright claims related to works created in Adobe Firefly, a platform that allows users to generate images, videos, and 3D models using artificial intelligence. The clause is designed to address concerns that enterprise users may have about using AI-generated art. Some businesses are worried that they could be held liable for copyright infringement if they use AI-generated art that contains elements that are protected by copyright. The indemnity clause aims to put these businesses' minds at ease by promising to cover any copyright claims that are brought against them.


The clause is not without its limitations. It only applies to works created in Adobe Firefly, and it does not cover all types of copyright claims. For example, the clause does not cover claims of trademark infringement or trade secret misappropriation. Despite its limitations, the indemnity clause is a significant step forward for Adobe. It shows that the company is committed to helping enterprise users adopt AI-generated art without fear of legal liability.


"We understand that enterprise customers have concerns about using AI-generated art," said Adobe's chief legal officer, Michael Wu. "The indemnity clause is designed to address those concerns and give businesses the confidence they need to adopt this new technology." The indemnity clause is part of Adobe's terms of service for Adobe Firefly. It is effective immediately and applies to all new and existing users of the platform. The clause is not the first time that Adobe has tried to address concerns about copyright liability in the context of AI-generated art. In 2021, the company launched a new tool called Content Credentials that allows users to verify the authenticity of AI-generated content. The tool uses blockchain technology to create a unique identifier for each piece of AI-generated content, which can then be used to track its provenance and ownership.
