Addressing Artificial Intelligence – Panel Discussion

Friday, September 8, 3pm. Free Entrance

Photojournalism has always been a powerful vector for telling stories and recording the world in action. But today, generative artificial intelligence means a radical change for photography, and the potential that AI has to produce realistic pictures is both fascinating and disturbing. How can photojournalism maintain a reputation for integrity when photos can be altered and manipulated so easily? How will this affect the attitude of the general public for trusting photographs as true images? What responsibility do the media have for the use of this new technology? What are the ethical challenges that arise when images blur and confuse the distinction between fact and fiction?

Panel discussion moderated by Gilles Courtinat, journalist, L’Oeil de l’info.
