VISUAL CREATORS
PhotoVogue is facing backlash after featuring AI-generated content alongside real photography at their recent festival in Milan.
While some argue that using AI in photography can be a form of artistic expression, others are concerned about the ethics of using AI-created images that are compiled from artists' work without permission or compensation.
The festival did spark interesting conversations about the role of AI in the future of visual storytelling, but the decision to exhibit AI alongside photography has left many photographers feeling undervalued.

CREATOR ECONOMY
Tech titans from Meta, X, TikTok, Snap, and Discord will testify before the US Senate at the end of this month about online child exploitation. The hearing is part of a push to strengthen child safety regulations on the web.
Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, is currently battling lawsuits from multiple states over allegations of deceptive marketing to minors. Meanwhile, school districts are suing Meta, ByteDance (TikTok’s parent company), Alphabet (Google’s parent company), and Snap, claiming their platforms are addictive to kids.
To make sense of all this: Tech’s biggest bosses are facing a grilling from Congress over kids’ safety on their platforms.
What happens next could shape internet regulations for years to come.
