Adobe's new terms of service has caused an uproar online.
Users have objected to Adobe’s claims that it “may access, view, or listen to your Content through both automated and manual methods…using techniques such as machine learning in order to improve our Services and Software and the user experience,” which many took to be a tacit admission both of surveilling them and of training AI on their content, even confidential content for clients protected under non-disclosure agreements or confidentiality clauses/contracts between said Adobe users and clients.
Content creators are among some groups expressing concern over the terms for well-known software and apps like Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition, used commonly for photographs, images, audio, graphics and other types of creative products.
