Some cameras already include technology that allows photographs to be "signed" to prove they were not generated by artificial intelligence. This functionality, called Content Credentials (or authenticity credentials), is based on the open Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) standard.
This technology does not prevent images from being altered, but it records all modifications made, creating a verifiable history. It works through digital signatures that accompany the image from the moment of capture, thus allowing its origin and any edits to be traced.
The organization responsible for this standard brings together several companies from the technology and media sectors. Adobe was among the founders of this initiative, which comes at a time when it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish real images from AI-generated images.
