As a photographer and journalist, I have always been fascinated by the intersection of technology and art. In recent years, advancements in AI have revolutionized the way we approach both fields. From portrait photography to wedding photography, AI has opened up new possibilities for creatives in the industry. And as a former graphic-journalist for an Austrian business newspaper, I have seen firsthand how AI is shaping the future of journalism as well.
In 2020, we saw the development of several exciting AI technologies that are set to be released in 2021. These technologies have the potential to change the game for photographers and journalists alike. Here are just a few of the exciting advancements we can expect to see in the coming year:
AI-enhanced editing tools: Editing is an essential part of the creative process for photographers and journalists alike. AI-enhanced editing tools will allow us to take our work to the next level by automating certain tasks and making the editing process more efficient. For example, some tools will be able to automatically adjust brightness, contrast, and color in photographs, saving photographers time and allowing them to focus on the creative aspects of their work.
AI-generated content: While AI-generated content is still in its early stages, we can expect to see more advancements in this area in 2021. This technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach storytelling, by generating written or visual content automatically based on certain parameters. While this technology is not without its challenges, it could open up new possibilities for journalists and photographers who are looking to tell stories in innovative ways.
As a photographer and journalist, I am excited to see how these technologies will shape the future of our industries. While there are valid concerns about the impact of AI on creativity and jobs, I believe that these technologies have the potential to enhance our work and push us to explore new possibilities. I look forward to seeing what the future holds for the intersection of art and AI.
