It’s the fast-growing technology that continues to fool millions of social media users around the world – but how adept are YOU at spotting a fake AI photo?

From the Pope posing in a puffer coat to Donald Trump being arrested on the streets of New York, images created by artificial intelligence are becoming increasingly convincing. 

While some of the snaps are clearly fake and designed to amuse or make a political statement, there are experts who fear the technology’s potential to become a weapon of mass disinformation.  

It comes as a German artist who won the Sony World Photography Award this week refused to accept his prize after revealing his black and white portrait of two women was in fact created by AI.

Boris Eldagsen tricked competition organisers with his entry, Pseudomnesia: The Electrician – a haunting close-up of two women in a grainy sepia which won the creative open category

Boris Eldagsen tricked competition organisers with his entry, Pseudomnesia: The Electrician – a haunting close-up of two women in a grainy sepia which won the creative open category.

He stunned organisers by rejecting the award, claiming that ‘AI is not photography’ – as he hopes to create a discussion surrounding the future of art.

The World Photography Organisation, who run the Sony awards, told MailOnline that they had been deliberately mis-led by Eldagsen about the extent to which AI would be involved.
