Implications of Adobe's Firefly on OGA's AI Artwork Policies

Throughout our discussions thus far, we've found ourselves within a grey area regarding the licensing and copyright status of works generated by AI models trained on public data that possess ambiguous or mixed licenses. Consequently, such works are no longer permissible on the OGA platform due to these unresolved legal uncertainties.

However, a recent development in this arena with Adobe's release of their generative AI model, Firefly, introduces a new dimension to this conversation. Adobe asserts that Firefly's training data set exclusively consists of public domain images and those with open licenses, which theoretically shouldn't be dragged down by licensing issues usually associated with generative AI outputs.

Given these considerations, it could be argued that creations assisted by Firefly should not be encumbered by licensing issues typically associated with AI-generated works, and, therefore, should qualify for submission on OGA. The implications of this development on OGA's policies warrant a thorough discussion, and I welcome your thoughts and insights on this matter.
