AI-created photo wins Sony World Photography Award, but winner refuses prize.
The winner of the creative open category at the Sony World Photography Award, Boris Eldagsen, has refused his prize after revealing that his entry, entitled Pseudomnesia: The Electrician, was an AI creation. Eldagsen said he used the picture to test the competition and to create a discussion about the future of photography. Organisers of the award told BBC News Eldagsen had misled them about the extent of AI that would be involved. Eldagsen admitted he had been a "cheeky monkey" and questioned if any of the judges "knew or suspected that it was AI-generated".
