Artificial Intelligence: Is AI threat for professional photography?

AI technology or artificial intelligence has been making headlines as there are apprehensions that it will cut jobs for humans. One such potential victim has been identified as professional photography.

The rapid progress in AI and image processing is reshaping the landscape of photography, shifting it from being primarily skill-based to an art form that is increasingly influenced and driven by technology. This transformation is expanding access to high-quality photography for a wider audience, challenging the conventional perception of professional photography as merely a skill-based endeavor, Fox reported quoting a report on Medium.

As we progress deeper into the era dominated by AI, it becomes increasingly clear that the conventional significance and role of professional photography skills are gradually fading away, the report published on Medium states.


Pope Francis, acknowledging that he was the victim of a deepfake photo, on Wednesday warned against the "perverse" dangers of artificial intelligence, renewing a call for its worldwide regulation to harness it for the common good.
