Nick Knight Is Building His Own AI
Rather than reach for AI tools trained on the open internet, Nick Knight is building his own. The SHOWstudio founder joins Imran Amed on The BoF Podcast to explain why — and what young image-makers need to do today.
Nick Knight, a seasoned fashion photographer, is currently building his own AI datasets from scratch. He achieves this by photographing a model repeatedly, so the artificial intelligence perceives the world solely through his own references, without scraping the internet for another's work. Knight takes his own still image and asks the AI to bring it to life, resulting in a creation that defies the categorization of either a photograph or a film.
During an interview on The BoF Podcast, Knight shared his thoughts on the metaverse and explained how he thinks AI is crafting a new medium, situated somewhere between photography and film. He also offered advice to budding image-makers navigating the age of AI.
