Navigate the legal landscape of using AI-generated images for business. We cover copyright, licensing, model terms of service, and best practices.
As AI-generated imagery becomes mainstream in marketing, e-commerce, and publishing, the legal questions are more important than ever. Can you sell AI-generated art? Use it in advertising? Put it on a product?
Each AI image generator has its own terms regarding commercial use:
1. Use a paid plan: Free tiers often restrict commercial use 2. Keep records: Save your prompts, generation settings, and timestamps 3. Don't copy trademarked material: Avoid prompting for specific brand logos, characters, or intellectual property 4. Avoid generating recognizable real people without their consent 5. Add disclaimers where appropriate: Some industries require disclosure of AI-generated content 6. Review outputs carefully: AI may inadvertently reproduce copyrighted styles or compositions
