Samsung's New AI Photo Editing Sparks Authenticity Debate
-
Samsung introduced AI photo editing features called "Generative Edit" in its new Galaxy S24 phones, which can easily edit and "remaster" photos. This raised concerns about authenticity and ethics.
-
Samsung's head of customer experience Patrick Chomet defended the features, calling them an extension of existing editing capabilities and questioning the concept of a "real" unedited photo.
-
Chomet said Samsung aligns with European AI regulations and governments are right to be concerned and regulate the technology industry.
-
The Galaxy S24 phones with the new AI features just launched and it's unclear whether they will be seen as advanced filters or problematic deepfakes.

Chomet acknowledged the technology is "amazing and powerful" but can be used in both good and bad ways.
