Getty Images and OpenAI announce a deal that will bring Getty’s licensed visual content into ChatGPT and AI search experiences. Multiple outlets report that OpenAI will be able to use Getty’s image library as part of search and ChatGPT results, with the images supplied under a licensing arrangement rather than through unlicensed use. The agreement is framed as a shift in Getty’s stance: for years, Getty has criticized how AI companies source and use training data. In this new partnership, Getty positions the relationship as an official display and licensing arrangement for its content. The reports describe the collaboration as enabling Getty images to appear alongside or within ChatGPT search responses, improving the availability of Getty’s catalog in OpenAI’s consumer-facing products. While details of commercial terms, coverage, and technical implementation are not provided in the provided summaries, all sources align that the core change is Getty’s licensed content being featured in ChatGPT search results through an OpenAI partnership.
