Boris Eldagsen is a renowned photographer from Germany who’s been working in the industry for years. In 2023, his name made headlines around the world after he entered — and won — the Sony World Photography Awards with an AI-generated image. Boris publicly refused the prize, urging the organizers to confront the role of AI in photography. When they declined to engage in discussion, he turned the moment into a wake-up call for the creative industry to discuss the impact of Artifical Intelligence.
Although critical of AI competing with traditional photography, Boris is also one of the technology’s’ most enthusiastic adopters. In this conversation with Danny Edwards from shots, Boris unpacks the philosophical and ethical questions raised by AI art — and whether its potential outweighs its dangers.
