Joanna Stern: 苹果公司发布了首款搭载人工智能的iPhone,其AI功能包括图像编辑、笔记总结、Siri升级等。这些功能并非全部立即可用,部分功能将在未来几个月到一年内陆续推出。目前,谷歌等公司在AI图像编辑方面已经走在前列,其技术可以实现图像中物体移除、背景替换以及图像生成等功能。这些技术既可以用于改善照片质量,也可以被用于恶意目的,例如生成虚假或具有误导性的图像,尤其在政治领域,AI合成图像可能被恶意利用,造成社会混乱。因此,人们需要对所看到的图像保持警惕,并学会辨别图像的真伪。 随着AI图像编辑技术的不断发展,其生成的图像将越来越逼真,难以与真实图像区分。社交媒体平台虽然采取了一些措施来标记AI生成的图像,但最终仍需依靠人们自身的判断。 Fred Ritchin: 人工智能技术的进步使得图像的真实性难以辨别,这削弱了照片作为可靠证据和社会影响力的作用。在过去,照片曾作为重要的历史记录和社会变革的催化剂,例如越战期间的纳帕尔弹袭击照片,以及1968年宇航员拍摄的地球照片,都曾引发了广泛的社会关注和行动。然而,如今AI技术的滥用使得人们难以区分真实与虚假,这导致了社会信任的危机,并阻碍了人们对重要事件的客观认知。 为了应对这一挑战,我们需要采取措施来维护照片的真实性和可信度,例如对AI生成的图像进行标记,并加强公众的媒体素养教育。此外,我们也需要反思自身对图像的依赖,以及对完美图像的追求,避免陷入对AI技术的过度依赖,从而失去对真实世界的感知。
