AI-generated photo wins contest, artist declines award.

German artist Boris Eldagsen has declined a Sony World Photography award for his work titled "The Electrician" because it was partially generated by artificial intelligence. Eldagsen argued that AI images do not count as photography nor should they be judged in the same competitions, calling for an "open discussion" about what is considered photography and what isn't. The World Photography Organisation insists Eldagsen told organizers he had completed "co-creation" of the image using AI before the win was announced.
