The video of the Panel Discussion 'Press The Shutter, Type The Prompt: Photography and Truth in Times of AI' is now available on our YouTube channel

In this recorded panel discussion, photographers and artists Michael Christopher Brown, Haley Morris-Cafiero, and Stéphanie Hubert reflect on photography and truth in the era of AI.
The session was chaired by Sam McGuire, former Tate Curator of Research and Interpretation, now a doctoral researcher at Cardiff University and a Photo Oxford trustee.

Press the Shutter, Type the Prompt brought together three distinct artistic voices to show how generative AI is reshaping creative practice in very different ways.
- Michael Christopher Brown – 90 Miles Shared how he used generative tools to visualise histories of Cuban migration that could not be captured on camera.
- Haley Morris-Cafiero – What Does an Ideal Employee Look Like? Discussed her use of performance, humour, and AI to reveal the biases embedded in online employment assessment algorithms.
- Stéphanie Hubert – Sleeping Beauty Reflected on blending photography and AI to explore memory, grief, and the invisible traces left by loss. Context:
