Artificial Intelligence vs. Photographers and A.I. vs. the Law

Artificial Intelligence vs. Photographers and A.I. vs. the Law

I've been covering a lot of artificial intelligence related to photography lately. First, I showed how to use it to speed up retouching without the result looking like embarrassing Photoshop filters—instead, it looks like work done by a retoucher. Then I reported on my tests of DALL-E 2, the most advanced A.I. for creating art—graphics, images, "photos," and so on:

Today, however, I have two, or even three recordings…

1. A Conversation on the "Niezłe Aparaty" Podcast—Will A.I. Kill Photography?

This is my second appearance on the "Niezłe Aparaty" podcast. This time, Jacek Siwko asked me about the topics I covered in the DALL-E article, the possibilities A.I. offers, and the risks it poses to photographers' jobs:

The audio version of this recording is also available in all the usual podcast apps—just search for "Niezłe Aparaty". It's also worth visiting the Niezłe Aparaty website, where you'll find links to everything I talked about.

2. Artificial Intelligence vs. the Law

The second recording should be processed by YouTube any minute now. It is my conversation with lawyer Wojciech Wawrzak about what rights A.I. has, who owns what is created with it, and so on:

3. Photography Law (Unrelated to A.I.)

We also discussed a few legal issues in photography that weren't related to A.I., so I put them in a separate video:

Free Course on Photography Law

In my conversation with Wojtek, we mentioned several times the free legal course in which we cover all the issues related to image rights, copyright, taxes, and so on. Altogether, we go through more than 30 topics—for example, where inspiration ends and plagiarism begins. You can get the course here.
