San Francisco / New York – June 12, 2024 – Databricks, the Data and AI company, and Shutterstock, Inc., a leading global creative platform, today announced Shutterstock ImageAI, Powered by Databricks, a text-to-image Generative AI model optimized for enterprise use. Built using the advanced capabilities of Databricks Mosaic AI and trained exclusively on Shutterstock’s world-class image repository, ImageAI generates customized, high-fidelity, trusted images that are tailored to specific business needs.
When organizations need high-quality images for their collateral, websites, applications, or campaigns, team members have historically had only a few options: identify an appropriate image from a repository of licensable assets or embark on a production effort. Today, they might turn to AI-generated images, but those models are often trained on data that may not meet enterprise standards like Shutterstock's data does. Further, such models may not be integrated into enterprise applications, which means they lack the necessary data governance and observability corporations require.
ImageAI addresses these challenges by enabling companies to use AI to quickly and confidently create new high-resolution, photorealistic images that are commercially viable because the model was trained entirely on Shutterstock’s trusted collection of curated images. This high-quality image generation model was built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform with Mosaic AI tooling. Leveraging the security, reliability, and speed of Mosaic AI Model Training, Shutterstock and Databricks pre-trained ImageAI from scratch in weeks. Additionally, Databricks customers can serve ImageAI with Mosaic AI Model Serving to easily integrate the model with their existing enterprise-wide data governance policies.
