Apple Reached a Licensing Agreement with Shutterstock for Artificial Intelligence Education

An agreement was made between Apple and stock image site Shutterstock to license millions of images for artificial intelligence training. ReutersAccording to the news, the value of the deal is approximately in the range of 25-50 million dollars. In fact, it appears that several other major tech companies, including Meta, Google, and Amazon, have reached similar agreements with Shutterstock.

By the way, let’s note that companies such as OpenAI initially trained their models by collecting data from the web, and as legal obstacles related to copyright emerged, companies began to officially license their content.

Although Apple seems to be a little behind in recent exciting artificial intelligence developments, the company plans to change this situation soon. The iOS 18 version is expected to greatly highlight artificial intelligence-supported features to improve the experience of iPhone users. Apple Marketing Manager Greg Jozwiak said about the event: tweet has already confirmed the artificial intelligence speculation. iOS 18 will be officially announced at the WWDC 2024 event and the keynote will be held on June 10.
