Photography in the Age of Generative AI
This talk explores the world of generative AI and the extent of its impact on photography. Through its use, it is possible to create realistic images from text, restore and recolor old images, or change the style of one image to another. The main technologies behind these advances will be explained and a space for discussion will be opened to see the ethical and creative implications of these tools.
