Adobe recently faced backlash and confusion from its user base due to vague and concerning language in its updated Terms of Use. This prompted the company to promise clearer communication and revisions to the Terms. The key issues of concern were the use of customer content for training generative AI models, content ownership, licensing, and content moderation. Adobe officials Scott Belsky and Dana Rao assured users that Adobe has never used customer content to train AI, claimed ownership of user work, or accessed content beyond legal requirements. The company plans to roll out revised Terms of Use by June 18, focusing on transparency and clear language. They also emphasized that users could opt-out of data usage for machine learning features, albeit with some feature limitations. Adobe aims to regain user trust by engaging directly with its community and ensuring that their policies are easily understandable and focused on protecting user rights and data.
