Gemini 2.0 Flash has received a lot of attention for its impressive capabilities, however the feature of removing watermarks from images has raised concerns among many about the possibility of copyright infringement and could lead to legal action in the future.
Before and after images processed by Gemini 2.0 Flash
There is a lot of buzz on social media platforms about the possibility of removing watermarks from licensed works, a practice that is illegal under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Many images have watermarks to prevent unauthorized use, and users often have to pay for a license to use unaltered images without a watermark.
Gemini 2.0 Flash image blurring results are impressive
Early examples of Gemini 2.0 Flash’s capabilities have been shared online, showing impressive, if not always perfect, results in removing watermarks. This has led many to question whether Gemini 2.0 Flash’s feature is too powerful, and whether Google may need to reconsider to avoid legal risks from major companies like Getty Images, which recently acquired Shutterstock for $3.7 billion.

According to TechCrunch , several companies in the artificial intelligence (AI) space have faced similar situations and have decided not to provide watermark removal. For example, OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 Sonnet have refused to comply with the request. Fortunately for Google, Gemini 2.0 Flash is still in beta, which means the company has time to make the necessary adjustments to avoid facing legal issues.
