Artist refuses award after revealing AI creation

German artist Boris Eldagsen has refused to accept his prize after winning the creative open category at the Sony World Photography Award. Eldagsen's entry, called Pseudomnesia: The Electrician, turned out to be an AI creation. He explained that he used the entry to test the competition and create a discussion about the future of photography. However, the organisers of the award said that Eldagsen had misled them about the extent of AI that would be involved.

Eldagsen released a statement on his website in which he admitted that he had been "a cheeky monkey". He thanked the judges for selecting his image and for making it

while questioning whether they knew or suspected that it was AI-generated. He continued by saying that AI images and photography should not be competing with each other in an award like this as they are different entities. He concluded that he would not accept the award. This event has raised questions about the role of AI in the world of photography and whether AI creations should be considered in photography competitions. While some people may argue that AI-generated images should not be eligible for photography awards, others believe that this is that should be celebrated.
