Photos By Robots Eligible For Pulitzer Prize
Are photos taken by robots (such as the photo above of a martian avalanche taken by a robotic spacecraft) eligible for a Pulitzer Prize? According to officials at The Pulitzer Prizes, the answer is yes.
In response to a query from Grok Robots, Sig Gissler, Administrator, The Pulitzer Prizes, responded:
If the photos were published in a newspaper and ultimately chosen, we would have to figure out how to
allocate or explicate credit.
Now that photos by robots are eligible, who should get the actual credit? Manufacturers? Programmers? The robots themselves?
