Although named a winner of this year\u2019s Sony World Photography Awards, German photographer Boris Eldagsen did not accept the award for his submission under the Creative category. It could be mind boggling as to why an artist would decline the honor for their entry, but there are morals behind the reasoning of his choice.<\/p>\n
Eldagsen\u2019s photo titled Pseudomnesia: The Electrician<\/i> alludes to a 1940s family portrait in which two women from different generations are seated. All of the credit can\u2019t be taken on Eldagesen\u2019s part, as the photo was produced using OpenAI’s DALL-E 2 image generator. While some contestants criticized Eldagsen for making “deliberate attempts” to mislead, other members of the judging panel contend they were aware the work was AI-generated in advance.<\/p>\n
According to German photographer Boris Eldagsen, he wasn\u2019t exactly hiding the fact he used an AI generated image. His intent was to \u201cdrive debate\u201d about how this new technology is currently redefining how we view photography as a whole. The board members of the Sony World Photography Awards stated that they were well aware of this.<\/p>\n
