Meta Teams Up With Midjourney for Future Creative AI Models

Meta licenses Midjourney's AI to enhance its image and video generation capabilities, aiming to accelerate innovation and improve user experience across its platforms.

  • On Friday, Meta announced it will license Midjourney's aesthetic technology for use in its future models and products, integrating AI-generated images and videos across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and the Meta AI app.
  • Mark Zuckerberg has pushed an aggressive AI strategy that includes offers over $100 million to recruit talent, a $14.3 billion Scale AI deal, and Wang's 'all-of-the-above' approach.
  • Midjourney, the independent lab founded by David Holz, serves 20 million users with subscriptions from $10 to $120 and was sued recently by Disney and Universal alleging copyrighted training data use.
  • The deal immediately boosts Meta's standing against OpenAI and Google by integrating Midjourney's artistic AI, enabling creators and businesses to monetize through new subscription and ad programs.
  • With copyright law still unsettled, Meta inherits Midjourney's legal concerns while advanced AI models will shape the metaverse and future creators' legal frameworks.
