The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is a specification for both hardware and software for attaching metadata to every media file (images, video, audio, etc) and cryptographically signing it. The media can't be altered without voiding the cryptographic signature. You can alter the media, but the idea is the alterations will in turn also be logged and signed. The idea is, hardware like cameras and software like Photoshop will all do this. This will enable people to tell if something was generated by AI or altered by AI. The "provenance information" will tell the history of the media and indicate its authenticity. If it authentically came from InfoWars, you'll know that.

The future of "truth" on the Internet
