Artist wins photo award with AI generated image, sparking debate | DW News
Berlin-based photographer Boris Eldagsen rejected the recognition from Sony World Photography Awards, saying that artificial intelligence (AI) images and photography should not compete with each other in similar contests.
In a statement published on his website, Erdagsen said that he applied to the competition “as a cheeky monkey” to find out if such events are prepared to handle AI-generated content.
The photographer also urged for debate on the role of AI in photography.
“We, the photo world, need an open discussion. A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not,” wrote Eldagsen.
