AI in photography: time for a change in focus

Technology behind photography-making tools has hit a plateau. Traditional digital cameras and the associated lenses have already reached an impressive quality and physical upgrades will not dramatically change this state of fact. The next step is code, or AI, in a broad sense. Smartphones are fair competition for DSLR cameras as they try to compensate the drawbacks of tiny physical sensors, with the success we know. The increasingly sophisticated and professional applications of smartphones have achieved an almost similar quality in the technical variables of photography: exposure speed, white balance and color, ISO sensitivity, etc. However, the phone is not able to compete with the combination of the objectives and sensors of a professional camera.
