Getty's stock surged 200% after inking a deal to feed OpenAI
getty images signed a multi-year deal to inject licensed photos into chatgpt search, causing its stock to jump 200%. this legitimizes ai search but raises questions about compensating creators.
getty images signed a multi-year deal with openai to integrate licensed photos into chatgpt's search and discovery features. the news triggered a roughly 200% jump in getty's stock, reversing a 55% decline earlier this year, though financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. this move follows getty's shift from suing ai firms like stability ai to building its own ai tools, positioning the company to capitalize on the generative ai boom. while the deal ensures chatgpt users receive high-quality, legally sourced images, it remains unclear if openai will use this data for model training.
