Make more impactful images and be more successful by embracing AI in your photo future.
Whether one is a casual hobbyist with a smartphone or a full-time professional photographer with high-end equipment, AI is found in the cameras, lighting, and software that come together to make modern photographs. The Computer Ate My Photos is an exploration of all things AI as it relates to the world of photography.
The Basics of Artificial Intelligence and Photography
The beginning of the book lays the groundwork of how we got to our current state, with a primer on current photography technology and an introduction to the world of artificial intelligence. AI is introduced in easy to understand scenarios that help anyone understand the general concepts explored later in the book.Artificial Intelligence in Photo Hardware and Software
The next section of the book includes several chapters on how AI assists with image capture in various camera scenarios, how it can assist us in retouching and other image editing work, and how AI is simplifying the sometimes-daunting tasks involved with managing, searching, and maintaining our image library. Discussions include technologies available today with an eye towards possibilities coming in the near-future.
The Future of Photography
Finally, multiple chapters explore how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of photography. There's an exploration of the various moral and ethical issues which have come to light through the application of photo-centric AI technology. Readers will learn about the possibilities of AI-generated artwork. And the book wraps up with a look at what artificial intelligence may mean for the future of the photographer themselves. Will AI mean they're automated out of a job, or will the photographic role continue in new forms. Time will tell, but the author makes some educated predictions.- LanguageEnglish

The book is broken down into several chapters, each detailing a different aspect of AI - from how an iPhone is able to pull of stunning night images with such a small lens and sensor - to the implications of AI with Apple, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
The tone and pace of the book isn't overly technical, which I appreciate. It breaks down a highly technical topic into easy to read and follow bits. It feels similar to reading a series of interesting blog articles, on par with the pop title "the computer ate my photos." You start reading on a topic and finish the chapter because pace and style of the writing, paired with the facinating content. It's the type of text book I wanted in college - but never got.
It does a good job of bringing you up to speed with AI, helping you understand how to embrace it, and projects how it might be used in the future. A good recommendation for photographers of all skill levels.
