Getty Images and OpenAI announced<\/a> a multi-year display partnership to bring Getty Images\u2019 licensed content into OpenAI search and discovery experiences inside ChatGPT. The news sent Getty\u2019s stocks temporarily soaring more than 200% during premarket trading.<\/p>\n

Getty Images says that its licensed content will appear in ChatGPT, significantly improving the \u201crichness of visual responses\u201d on the popular AI platform. <\/p>\n

\u201cHigh\u2011quality, licensed visual content makes AI\u2011powered search and discovery more useful and more trustworthy. This partnership with OpenAI reflects a shared recognition of that, and together we will deliver richer visual experiences to ChatGPT users,\u201d says Craig Peters, Chief Executive Officer at Getty\u00a0Images.<\/p>\n

As Forbes reports<\/a>, the news that broke overnight has excited investors. At one point in premarket trading, Getty\u2019s stock was up over 200% from its Friday close. While the dust had settled a bit, premarket trading was still at $1.35 per share, up 123% from the close last week, shortly before the stock market opened on Monday morning. <\/p>\n

Getty Images has had an interesting relationship with AI companies so far. The massive stock photo library sued<\/a> Stability AI in 2023, alleging that the maker of Stable Diffusion had stolen over 12 million of Getty\u2019s copyrighted photos. Getty mostly lost that legal battle<\/a> in the United Kingdom late last year. <\/p>\n

Getty Images has been a vocal proponent of legislation that seeks to restrict AI deepfake images<\/a> as well, signaling that the company takes a rather tepid approach to AI technology. <\/p>\n

Nonetheless, Getty Images has entered a multi-year agreement with one of the biggest AI companies in the market. Getty\u2019s extremely brief announcement offers very little in the way of actual details of the agreement, including what \u201cmulti-year\u201d means, what the agreement entails, how much money is involved, and how OpenAI will actually use Getty\u2019s licensed content. The only thing that is clear thus far is that some portion of Getty\u2019s licensed content library will be visible in some way across OpenAI search and ChatGPT\u2019s discovery experiences. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not clear whether OpenAI or ChatGPT will be able to alter the images in any way, what sort of information will appear alongside the images, what level of control Getty Images has over the experience, or whether it is Getty\u2019s entire image library that is available for use. <\/p>\n

When the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) opened this morning at 9:30 AM EDT, Getty\u2019s stock opened at $1.40. In less than ten minutes, it dipped down to $1.22, although that is still much higher than its previous close at $0.64 per share. It is a rapidly evolving situation as the market grapples with what OpenAI and Getty\u2019s new agreement may mean. <\/p>\n
