Generative AI’s Double-Edged Sword: Can Content Provenance Restore Trust?
The UK and Canada’s cyber security centers have teamed up to tackle the wild west of digital misinformation with a new report on public content provenance. As AI-generated content runs rampant, the report suggests using cryptographically secure metadata, because nothing says “trustworthy” like a metadata cocktail.
Hot Take:
Ah, provenance! The digital world’s version of “Who done it?” Our dear friends at the NCSC and CCCS are trying to save us from the swamp of deepfakes and AI trickery by handing us a digital magnifying glass.
