A new bill introduced by Rep. Adam Schiff would require all AI companies to disclose the copyrighted works used in training sets or face a fine.

YouTube announced today that it will require content creators to label AI-generated content that people could mistake for being real.

Photographers who spend time in state and national parks are probably familiar with rock cairns, or man-made piles of rocks stacked on top of each other. They can ruin landscape scenes, but luckily, everyone is encouraged to knock them over.

Adobe seems to be cracking down on employees using artificial intelligence (AI), including restricting workers’ abilities to sign up for services with their personal emails.

I think photography educators teach and talk about photography to beginners in an overly complicated way. It’s all concepts, jargon, theories, and numbers. It should be focused on composition and how to take ‘better’ photographs as this is what most beginners join courses to learn.

The European Union (EU) today gave its final approval which demands that by 2024, the USB-C port will become mandatory for a range of electronic devices including mobile phones, tablets, and headphones.

It finally happened: The European Parliament (EP) voted to make almost all electronics USB-C compatible.

Egypt is set to shift how it regulates photography in public spaces. On the one hand, it will ease restrictions on street photography, but on the other, it will criminalize taking photos that it deems are "offensive to the country."

Senator Elizabeth Warren has reiterated her stance that consumers should not have to continue to buy new and different charging cables for their mobile devices.

A group of United States senators has written a letter to the U.S. Commerce Department advocating that the country should follow the European Union's decision to force all electronics manufacturers to adopt a common charging cable.

In a move that is being called a major blow to Apple's proprietary Lightning port, the European Union has come to an agreement that will require all smartphone manufacturers that sell in Europe to use the common USB-C port.

It did not take long for bad actors to abuse Twitter's new image rules, and the social media company has confirmed it mistakenly suspended multiple accounts from false reports generated by "far-right" extremists.

Twitter has published an update to its private information policy that specifically bans the publication of photos and videos (media) of private individuals without the permission of those depicted.

One of the deepest and most embedded "rules" of photography and videography is to ensure that horizon lines are straight. It is a practice so hardwired into most courses, seeing any deviation from this is deeply unsettling. And that's the point.

In 2016, a Canadian traveler innocently flew his drone in Cuba and was unexpectedly arrested and accused of being a spy for the United States Government due to an unfortunate coincidence.

Police in the United Kingdom have been granted new powers that allow them to further crack down on pilots who are either flying illegally or irresponsibly with increased fines and the ability to confiscate drones.

When I started my journey in photography, one aspect that fascinated me the most -- and this extends even to today -- was photo editing. I remember my first edits. I was so delighted to see how my images changed drastically by just moving a few sliders in Lightroom or Photoshop.

In photography, many aspects can make an image successful, and in my opinion, what defines the bones of a great photo is a good composition. Instead of thinking composition like a series of canonical rules, I much prefer to use principles like connection, tone, colors, shape, relationship, light gestures, and so on.

A primary question in photography is, “What is composition”? Photo composition governs the manner in which our eyes travel through an image. It defines how objects within an image are placed relative to each other in such a way that generates visual excitement. Used correctly, it transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary.

During New Year’s Eve 2017, Dubai set a world record for the biggest LED and light show at Burj Khalifa, doing away with the usual fireworks and taking a different approach to welcoming 2018, the “Year of Zayed”, named after the founding father of the UAE.

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee has published a set of guidelines for professional photographers who want to re-open their studios as the stay-at-home order in the state is rolled back. These guidelines—the first we've seen from a government entity—could act as a template for photographers in other states who are eager to open back up safely.

It’s very easy to get stuck in grooves in photography, to find something that makes sense or comes from a position of authority; once habits are formed around ideas about genre, style, or technique, it can be very difficult to break out of those constraints.

Drone photographers have one more weekend to submit their comments to the FAA regarding the agency's highly controversial Remote ID proposal. If you're still not sure what it is, or how to help change it before it's too late, this guide from Pilot Institute will explain everything you need to know.

I very often have this strong negative reaction when a newsletter arrives in my inbox or I see an online article where the heading reads: “5 rules to follow when composing an image” — or something to that effect.

I see a lot of articles across the Internet claiming to know the "rules to follow" or the "things to avoid" in street photography, easily one of the most hotly debated genres. What they tend to misunderstand is just how little the genre cares for photographic rules, and what the defining elements of street photography really are that go beyond any of the purely photographic elements.

Photographer Eric Floberg made this 5-minute video tutorial on the subject of composing portraits.

I’ve never entered a photo contest. In part because I have a fear of not winning and confronting my own mediocrity. But mostly because I have never viewed photography as sport.

DJI Technology Inc, the largest civilian drone maker, is claiming in a new study that “59 lives have been saved by civilian drones in 18 different incidents, with one life a week being saved by drones on average.”

Drone manufacturer DJI is speaking about about the FAA's drone rules. In a white paper released last week, DJI stated that the FAA’s present regulations about what size drones pose a risk to humans are based on, "poorly chosen data and deeply flawed assumptions."

“Perfect photographs do not move the heart.”– David DuChemin, The Vision Driven Photographer

This is one of my favourite photography quotes, in fact one of my favourite quotes generally.

House Republicans have put forward a proposal to fine representatives who shoot photos or videos on the floor of the chamber -- a move widely viewed as a response to House Democrats staging a sit-in in June to demand a vote on gun control legislation.

The prestigious World Press Photo contest has been tarnished in recent years by findings of inappropriate staging and digital manipulation of photos. So, the organizers have come up with a solution: there will soon be a new separate contest that does away with all the rules.

Heads up: if you fly a camera drone commercially, the FAA's new rules just went into effect. Announced back in June 2016, the rules govern how small commercial drones must be operated.

The FAA's long-awaited regulations for commercial drone use have finally arrived. Finalized and posted yesterday, the "Part 107 Rule" explains how old you have to be, what kind of certification you need, and how you're allowed to fly your drone if you're using it for commercial purposes.
