The title of this new book of AI photographs is a fusion of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Anthropology, the study of humanity. 

AInthropology uses AI-generated imagery to explore the ethical issues and inherent biases in technology. In the process it reveals a glimpse of AI’s take on humanity. 

The work sounds an alarm about the future of photography and human authenticity in an AI-dominated age. The text-to-image ‘photographs’ from 2024 are intended as an historical record of the time when AI technology first became widely available. 

These AI images are effectively stolen identities and synthetic histories that seduce and mislead. They are published as evidence of human misadventure in allowing AI to unwind our reality.  AInthropology is an anti-AI statement that builds on the themes in ‘Legacy’ (2024). The book includes a warning and sealed section as content may offend.
