Adobe’s recent update to its Terms of Use sparked outrage among artists and designers, with many believing the company would use their content to train AI models. Although Adobe denied these allegations, some employees are still unhappy with the company’s response and are calling for improved communication with customers. In an internal Slack channel, employees criticized the company’s poor response to the controversy, pointing out that Adobe has faced similar controversies in the past and needs to fix its internal review process. The controversy highlights the concerns surrounding generative AI, which is based on AI models trained on vast amounts of data, including text, images, audio, and video, raising questions about how this information is accessed and whether creators can opt out or get paid. Adobe’s customers, including graphic designers and other creative workers, are at the center of these debates.
