Since digital image editing tools like Adobe Photoshop hit the scene in the late 1980s, there have been heightened concerns about whether photos can be trusted. This long-time worry has become an increasingly common refrain among artificial intelligence's most ardent defenders, but it doesn't serve as a sound defense against criticisms of AI.
Pretty much as expected, Google leaned hard on the AI capabilities of the Pixel 9 series as selling points over major hardware improvements (a nice new design notwithstanding), but its implementation of these -- especially the generative AI additions -- lacks anything close to the proper levels of disclosure they needs.
A new AI image generator called FLUX.1 from the same researchers who developed Stable Diffusion and invented the latent diffusion technique promises high fidelity and claims it even does hands right.
AI-generated headshots are now a thing. Tech companies can offer hundreds of "professional" images for just $10. The question is: Should photographers be concerned?
If generative AI models are to continue to expand, they will need high-quality, human-created training data say scientists who found that using AI content corrupts the output.

While Meta deals with artificial intelligence in the form of its constantly-changing content tagging system, the company's research wing is hard at work on novel generative AI technology, including a new Meta 3D Gen platform that delivers text-to-3D asset generation with high-quality geometry and texture.
The chief technology officer of OpenAI thinks that the advent of artificial intelligence will mean "some creative jobs maybe will go" but adds that "maybe they shouldn't have been there in the first place."
Less than two weeks after significant outrage concerning Adobe's Terms of Use, fueled in part by poor communication, a lack of trust, and good old-fashioned misinformation, Adobe has delivered its promised revised Terms of Use, complete with new explainer text and assurances.
As the technology world waits with bated breath for AI videos to proliferate and begin to undermine everything we see online, a free AI video generator has just dropped.

Picsart and Getty Images have teamed up to make a new AI image generator for Picsart's paying subscribers to make "commercially safe" artificial intelligence images.
When Adobe launched its Firefly generative AI, it noted that using it would have limits determined by what it calls Generative Credits. Those limitations will soon include all Firefly-powered tools in Photoshop and Lightroom, too.
Stability AI, a fading name in the increasingly crowded generative AI space, released Stable Diffusion 3 Medium (SD3M) this week, calling it "our most sophisticated image generation model to date." However, real-world users are finding more terror than sophistication, with the text-to-image model consistently producing Lovecraftian monsters.
Scores of photographers have signed an open letter rallying against Meta's plan to use public photos on Instagram and Facebook to train its AI tools.
Shutterstock has teamed up with Databricks to create a new generative AI model which it hopes will do for AI-generated images what Apple did for MP3s in the early 2000s.
Cara, an Instagram-like app that has banned AI images from its platform has exploded in popularity going from 40,000 users to 700,000 in just a single week.
The CEO of Klarna, a "buy now, pay later" finance company, has boasted that his business will save $10 million this year at the expense of photographers and the photo industry thanks to generative AI.
Adobe Stock has removed a collection of AI-generated images in the style of Ansel Adams' landscape photography after the late photographer's estate slammed Adobe for its conduct.
A series of scandals surrounding the use of artificial intelligence in movies like Late Night With the Devil and a Netflix documentary has meant studios are reluctant to acknowledge they are using AI. But that doesn't mean they're not.
A new study from the University of Cambridge called for "safeguards" around the use of "griefbots," lest they end up becoming digital ghosts.
When I was a photojournalist, turning up for jobs and getting my camera out meant I then had to download the images to a computer, edit, send, et cetera. But what if there was a way to skip the camera part and take an image with my mind instead?
OpenAI has launched a deepfake detector which it says can identify AI images from its DALL-E model 98.8 percent of the time but only flags five to 10 percent of AI images from DALL-E competitors, for now.
