Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have brought about a significant transformation in the field of photography. This technology now possesses the capability to create images without the presence of a physical subject or camera, thereby challenging the boundaries between reality and virtuality. AI has expanded to such an extent that it can independently generate images, films, music, and text, raising fundamental questions about the nature of reality through the lens of technology. This shift may lead to the decline of certain professions, especially within the arts—and most notably, photography.
With the emergence of machines and robots capable of producing creative works without human intervention, powered by sophisticated AI systems, new challenges have arisen around the concepts of reality, authorship, and ownership in artistic production. As Kachouei (2020) notes, the position of reality in photography has become a central topic of discussion within artistic circles. This paper explores the concept of reality in photography in the age of AI through a theoretical and library-based research approach, examining the ways photography shapes and reflects perceptions of reality in contemporary visual culture. |
