The Sony World Photography Awards, a yearly contest run by the World Photography Organisation, had awarded the first prize for
generated image, PetaPixel reports. The image in question, titled The Electrician, was submitted by Berlin-based photomedia artist Boris Eldagsen, who refused the award after revealing its creation process through an open letter to the organisers published on his blog.
In the post, the artist stated that he submitted the piece as an experiment and effort to accelerate the conversation regarding the use of AI-generated images in high-profile contests such as the Sony World Photography Awards. “I applied as a cheeky monkey, to find out if the competitions are prepared for AI images to enter,” he wrote. “They are not.”
Eldagsen noted that this is still a historic moment nonetheless, as the artwork is the first ever AI-generated image to win in a prestigious international photography competition. However, he stressed that this shouldn’t be the case to begin with since such creations aren’t supposed to be considered as photography.“AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this,” he stated. “Therefore I will not accept the award.
