Artificial Intelligence and Photojournalism

Friday, September 6, 3pm. Free entrance.

One year after the first panel discussion on the subject of photography and AI, it is time to review the situation in the light of developments with AI-generated pictures. Have news pictures been manipulated for as long as photography has existed? Has the emergence of generative AI brought about a sharp increase in fake visuals used for news stories? What sort of protection is there for producers, broadcasters, distributors and users? How can pictures be certified as authentic? How can trust be restored? What can be done to protect against these fakes? What initiatives have been introduced, either through technological options or regulations? How can AI be used in photojournalism, and can photojournalism develop and be improved through AI?

With: Paul Melcher, Managing Director, Melcher System, a consultancy firm specializing in visual technology, and Gilles Courtinat, journalist, L’Oeil de l’info.
