As artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to develop, so too does the ability to create realistic images with the help of AI. I have been spending some time testing out how good this new technology really is, trying to figure out who has the creative control, how I feel about being removed from the process,… Continue reading Photographer creates a global tribe of women using artificial intelligence from his armchair in North Yorkshire

NFT Trends: Exploring AI in NFT projects
Alice has a personality and a face, but “she” doesn’t exist—at least not in the traditional sense. Inspired, in part, by the Lewis Carroll character, “Alice” was created by the artist Robert Alice in collaboration with a synthetic media company called Alethea AI. Her “face” was built from generic CGI stock models, and she can… Continue reading NFT Trends: Exploring AI in NFT projects
Peer ‘behind-the-scenes’ of famous works of art with the help of AI
The famous painting, “Girl with a pearl earring” with its borders extended. August Kamp / OpenAI / Johannes Vermeer This article originally appeared on Popular Science. Open AI, developers of the AI text-to-image generator DALL-E 2, have just announced a new feature for the app called “outpainting”. It allows users to extend existing images and works… Continue reading Peer ‘behind-the-scenes’ of famous works of art with the help of AI
Minding-reading AI creates images from human brainwaves
Yuichiro Chino/Getty Images In a paper published in Scientific Reports earlier this year, researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands, led by PHD candidate Thirza Dado, combined non-invasive brain imaging and AI-learning models in an attempt to read peoples’ minds—or at least recreate the image they’re looking at. It’s a fascinating experiment, though it’s easy… Continue reading Minding-reading AI creates images from human brainwaves
Preprocess Raws files with machine learning for cleaner-looking photos
A high ISO photo of a Bristlecone Pine processed through DxO PureRAW 2. Jeff Carlson Machine learning technology is used in many aspects of modern photography, from shooting images that would otherwise be difficult to capture to speeding up sorting and editing. This week I want to focus on a targeted implementation that ripples through… Continue reading Preprocess Raws files with machine learning for cleaner-looking photos
Is the end of the awkward, faceless Zoom call near?
Getty Images Have you ever been on a phone call with someone new or had to speak on a video conference to a screen full of faceless squares, with everyone’s appearance left to guesswork? You may not have to use your imagination in these scenarios for much longer. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial… Continue reading Is the end of the awkward, faceless Zoom call near?
Outsmart your iPhone camera’s overzealous AI
Dan Bracaglia Last weekend The New Yorker published an essay by Kyle Chayka with a headline guaranteed to pique my interest and raise my hackles: “Have iPhone Cameras Become Too Smart?” (March 18, 2022). Aside from being a prime example of Betteridge’s Law of Headlines, it feeds into the idea that computational photography is a… Continue reading Outsmart your iPhone camera’s overzealous AI
How to use artificial intelligence to tag and keyword photos for better organization
Gett Images Computational photography technologies aim to automate tasks that are time-consuming or uninspiring: Adjusting the lighting in a scene, replacing a flat sky, culling hundreds of similar photos. But for a lot of photographers, assigning keywords and writing text descriptions makes those actions seem thrilling. When we look at a photo, the image is… Continue reading How to use artificial intelligence to tag and keyword photos for better organization
The promise and difficulty of AI-enhanced photo editing
Jeff Carlson Several years ago, an executive at Skylum (the makers of Luminar editing software) told me the company was aggressively hiring hotshot machine-learning programmers as part of a push to infuse Luminar with AI features. It was my first glimpse at the importance of using AI to stand apart from other photo editing apps.… Continue reading The promise and difficulty of AI-enhanced photo editing
When AI changes its mind: the unpredictable side of computational photography
Getty Images One of the questions that preoccupies too much of my headspace is: Why do many photographers seem wary of computational photography? AI technologies offer a lot of advantages: they make cameras see better in the dark, capture larger dynamic ranges of exposure and color, pinpoint focus by automatically locking onto faces or eyes,… Continue reading When AI changes its mind: the unpredictable side of computational photography
