AI-generated photo wins top prize, photographer refuses award.

German photographer Boris Eldagsen refused a prestigious prize from the Sony World Photography Awards after revealing that his winning photograph was created using artificial intelligence. Eldagsen said he applied to the competition to find out if it was prepared for AI images to enter and hoped to speed up the debate about what should be considered photography. The World Photography Organisation said Eldagsen had co-created the image using AI before he was announced as the winner and that his entry fulfilled the criteria for the creative open category.
