Recently, I held a keynote on The Al Conundrum in Photographic Art-seminar, focusing on the general understanding and discussion around generative AI. The seminar explored the reasons and ways that artificial intelligence is being used by artists today and included interesting artist talks from Hilde Honerud, Tuomo Rainio, Mikaela Steby Stenfalk, Ida Kvetny and Diana Velasco.

Moreover, the Director of the Finnish Museum of Photography, Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger, gave a wonderful commentary on my keynote, and after the talks, there was a lively discussion from the panel consisting of Anna-Kaisa Rastenberger, artists and Donald Weber, Associate Professor at Aalto University. The seminar was organised by the Association of Photographic Artists (FI) in collaboration with three Nordic photography institutions, Centrum för fotografi (SE), Fotografisk center (DK), Preus Museum (NO), and Aalto University.

Below is a transcript of that talk.
