"We need to talk... about artificial intelligence" invites Claus Gunti, doctor in photography history and specialist in contemporary digital art, to give a talk on photography in the age of deepfakes and artificial intelligence. What are these recent image technologies, and what are their implications for photography and, more generally, for society? Do they have comparable historical precedents? How are artists, and others in society, dealing with them?

"We need to talk..." is a series of public talks proposed since autumn 2022 by Centre de la photographie Genève, aimed primarily at artists, photographers and students in these fields. Professionals from various fields related to art and photography are invited to share their expertise and professional experience, and to discuss the specificities of their practice. Through these meetings, Centre de la photographie Genève aims to demystify certain professions, encourage good practice, and support artists and photographers in certain important aspects of their profession that are often not addressed in schools. The third cycle addresses issues relating to collections, research in art and photography, the economic prospects of artists and photographers, and photographic grants and competitions.
