SUMMARY:AI & Contests: Where Do We Draw the Line?
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday photography. Lightroom\, Photoshop\, Nik\, Topaz\, and other applications now use AI for everything from noise reduction and sharpening to masking\, object removal\, Generative Fill\, and even creating entirely new image content. \nSo where should we draw the line for Arundel Camera Club contests? \nJoin us for an open discussion about the use of AI in photography and how it should apply to ACC contest images. We’ll review our current contest rules\, discuss AI guidelines\, and time permitting look at real-world examples of what should and should not be permitted. \nOur proposed guiding principle is simple: AI may help you process what you photographed. AI should not create what you did not photograph. \nLike many aspects of camera club competition\, our AI guidelines ultimately depend on the honor system. We are not looking to police members’ editing workflows or examine every image to determine which tools may have been used. \nWhen you enter an ACC contest\, you are representing that your image complies with the contest rules. Each photographer is responsible for understanding the tools they use and determining whether their processing is consistent with those rules. \nTechnology is changing quickly\, and we want our contest guidelines to reflect the views of our members while preserving photographic authorship and the integrity of our competitions. \nBring your questions\, examples\, and opinions. This is a discussion\, and we want to hear from you. \nThe Zoom link will be sent out prior to the meeting.
