In addition to continued investment in human-created metadata, Shutterstock expects to leverage Reka's multimodal models to augment details and improve the metadata attached to its library of digital assets.
除了繼續投資於人類創建的元數據外，Shutterstock還預計利用Reka的多模式模型，以增強細節並改善其數字資產庫所附加的元數據。
The licensing business with AI firms generated $104 million in revenue last year, CEO Paul J. Hennessy said in an interview, according to a report from Bloomberg.
首席執行官保羅·J·亨內西（Paul J. Hennessy）在接受彭博社採訪時表示，去年與人工智能公司的授權業務收入達1.04億美元。
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) are among the key clients of Shutterstock's training data, Reuters has reported. In 2023, OpenAI secured a six-year agreement with Shutterstock.
Meta Platforms Inc.（納斯達克：META）、Alphabet Inc.（納斯達克：GOOGL）、Amazon.com Inc.（納斯達克：AMZN）和Apple Inc.（納斯達克：AAPL）是Shutterstock的培訓數據的重要客戶之一，路透社報道。2023年，OpenAI與Shutterstock達成了爲期六年的協議。
Reka CEO Dani Yogatama said, "As we continue to develop frontier multimodal AI models, it was critical for us to partner with Shutterstock given its comprehensive source of legally licensable content with best-in-class, human-created metadata."
Reka首席執行官Dani Yogatama表示：“隨着我們繼續發展前沿的多模式人工智能模型，與Shutterstock達成合作對我們至關重要，因爲它具備全面的、合法授權的內容資源，且配備最佳的人類創建元數據。”
AI models require vast datasets to power tools such as chatbots, which generate text, video, or audio in response to user requests.
人工智能模型需要龐大的數據集來支持工具，如聊天機器人，用以生成文本、視頻或音頻響應用戶請求。
However, the use of copyrighted materials by AI companies is under growing scrutiny. Companies like Midjourney, OpenAI, and Stability AI have faced lawsuits for using internet-sourced content to train their models, Bloomberg reported.
然而，使用受版權保護的材料爲人工智能公司訓練模型，面臨着越來越多的審查。Bloomberg報道稱，Midjourney、OpenAI和Stability AI等公司因使用互聯網資源從而面臨訴訟。

This growing demand for data has created new opportunities for Shutterstock, whose traditional business of licensing media to advertising and creative firms has seen a decline.
數據的這種增長需求爲Shutterstock創造了新的機會。其傳統業務是向廣告和創意公司授權媒體，但該業務已出現下滑趨勢。

據報道，其他公司同樣通過向人工智能公司授權數據來實現數據的貨幣化。例如，Reddit Inc（NYSE：RDDT）每年從Google賺取約6000萬美元，並與OpenAI達成了協議。

公司預計到2027年，這一業務板塊將產生2.5億美元的銷售額，將當前的停滯階段歸因於合同結構的持續演變，而非缺乏人工智能客戶。
