Ai ….. using Ai ??

Julie Edwards Thoughts June 2, 2023 1 Minute

Not really a post this one, just a quick hi lighting of a recent article in The Guardian that has only just come to my attention (I have been a tad occupied) …

We “thought” the photojournalistic branch of photography would be safe (or should be…..)

Maybe the choice was made because they knew it would get press, and as the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity .

But is there? An organisation like Amnesty International needs to be trusted and if we (the public) cannot trust them, how can we trust any other media?

I am a Sussex based photographer providing imagery for the entertainment industry. My working time is split fairly evenly between London and Sussex although I have worked all around the world; from Europe covering the BAFTA's, Glastonbury, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, to the USA covering The Oscars. Passing knowledge & experience on is very important to me and so I am proud to say I have served on the Board of the British Press Photographers Association, helping to improve the image and practices of working press photographers. I educate by writing a widely read “technical” blog detailing my use of Fuji cameras and other equipment as well as giving talks about Press (and other aspects of) Photography to camera clubs and groups.

It’s worrying. I suspect their intention was probably genuine, but their judgement was way out. Too many people are jumping on the AI bandwagon without thinking through the consequences. In this case the organisation was open about its use, but frankly I can’t see the UK media resisting the temptation to use AI images, or owning up to it when they do.

  I agree, 100%.
  My biggest worry is that the public are already disbelieve in mainstream media being led by people like Trump and other online sources. Organisations that should be trusted like Amnesty International doing things like this is only gonna increase the mistrust.
