Artifical Intelligence in underwater photography – a force for good, or evil?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming underwater photography, helping photographers deal with challenges like backscatter and poor lighting. Tools like AI-driven software can fix images, remove unwanted elements, and even create new visual effects. However, there’s a debate about the ethics of using AI, as it can lead to misinformation and hurt professional photographers by replacing their work with AI-generated images. While AI can innovate how we capture and edit underwater scenes, it raises important questions about authenticity and job security in photography.
