Description :

The impacts of Artificial Intelligence on photography have emerged as among the hottest and most controversial topics of today. Rick Hulbert will describe both the upsides and downsides of AI technology from a photographer’s perspective, as well as from a beholder’s or viewer’s impression. He will share his evolving thoughts on AI’s impact on the art of photography.

The following three opinions highlight the controversy:

Cole Haddon writes, “AI – as artists currently discuss it – is not genuinely artificial intelligence. It’s not sentient . . . All it can do is take your prompts, pillage public domain and copyrighted material from across the Internet, and then piece it together in what appears to be original ways, but is, in fact, wide-scale theft.”

Deepak Chopra writes, “AI’s role is to make access to infinite possibilities a universal gift, through vast computing ability, machine learning, and superhuman speed. . . But it takes human intelligence to actually have the experience, to want it, to benefit from it personally. . . The future belongs to users who can sort out potential deception and dismantle it.”

Antti Karppinen writes, “It’s a blessing and a curse in one nifty package.”

Rick Hulbert is an instructor of photography at SFU and has lectured and taught at Langara College and UBC and led multi-day photo-workshops throughout Europe and North America.
