Echt of niet? Een stand van zaken in AI en fotografie
A talk on the current state of AI in photography
AI has radically transformed photography in just a few years, often without us even realising it. Your smartphone is already processing the image before you even see the photo. Editing programmes remove distracting elements or enhance an image with a single click. Generative models create photorealistic images without ever using a camera, and video is following suit rapidly. In this talk, I’ll provide an overview of where we stand today: what AI is already capable of, how photographers and creators are using it, and where the limits lie. Using concrete examples and live demonstrations, I’ll show just how thin the line has become between a photograph and a generated image. We will then explore the questions this raises. Can we still trust a photograph? What does this mean for the profession of photography? When is AI a useful tool, and when would we be better off consciously choosing not to use it? After the talk, there will be time for questions and discussion.
