A reader remarks on the imminent infidelity of cameras to reality<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The latest pro camera from Olympus has an AI that’s been trained (by feeding it thousands of images) to recognize a number of things (planes, trains, automobiles) and choose optimal focus points, shutter\/aperture and image enhancement. They also are using AI in their endoscopes to recognize and help physicians diagnose cancer. The resulting images are perhaps not “true” but certainly useful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Amazing stuff. But at some point there’s a change from “better focal selection” to “enhancements that renders the camera’s work a possible work of fiction,” as the authors of the article argue. I think the reader’s examples don’t step over the line. But what happens when examples are offered, in court, that do? And then court case after that, when maybe a cop beats up someone who’s been arrested, and then claims in court that the camera used to record the beating “just made it up”?<\/p>\n
