Adobe

TL;DR Adobe is a global leader in creative AI, powering next-generation image, video, and design workflows through its Firefly model suite and AI-enhanced Creative Cloud tools.

Adobe is one of the most influential creative technology companies in the world, and its AI transformation has reshaped how millions of designers, filmmakers, marketers, and artists work. With the launch of Firefly, Adobe’s family of generative AI models, the company brought responsible, commercially safe AI directly into Creative Cloud. Adobe’s approach centers on empowering creative professionals with AI assistance that enhances, rather than replaces, human imagination, while maintaining strong principles around licensing, safety, and content provenance.

Adobe sits at the intersection of creativity and intelligence. Its tools power the world’s largest creative ecosystems, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Illustrator. In recent years, Adobe has integrated advanced AI into nearly every product through Adobe Sensei and Adobe Firefly, enabling more intelligent workflows, automated editing, and complete generative creation.
