BBC Radio Wales Breakfast<\/a> that he wanted his photos to be affordable so charged from \u00a39.<\/p>\n“For the sake of a couple of pounds with AI you’re getting such a lower-quality product and ultimately it just makes us have to put prices up again, which is unfair for everyone,” he said. <\/p>\n
“You are constantly fighting and chasing your tail.”<\/p>\n
He added that the company he worked with was working to implement “high-tech methods to beat AI” including putting moving images over photos so they cannot be copied.<\/p>\n
Dr Simon Thorne, a senior computer science lecturer at Cardiff School of Technologies, urged people, as a general rule, to “never upload any personable identifiable photos”.<\/p>\n
“It’s a terrible idea. It’s a big risk,” he said. <\/p>\n
“The dataset could get leaked online potentially and your material can be used to train future generations of the model. The image could be sold – you have no idea.<\/p>\n
“Depending on the service, you may have very little idea how long that image is retained, how it is processed or whether it is reused.”<\/p>\n
Thorne said if the photograph contained other children, it raises an additional issue because their parents may have no idea that an image of their child has been uploaded to an AI system.<\/p>\n
“We recently had a case where a child was ill and missed a school photograph, so a parent used AI to add them back into the picture afterwards,” he said. <\/p>\n
“I can understand entirely why they did that, but they did not seem to appreciate that uploading and manipulating images of children in this way can carry real privacy and safeguarding risks.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gilbert said other photographers were increasingly seeing the same behaviour from parents.
