Nikon, Sony and Canon fight AI fakes with new camera tech

- The simple fact that software is fundamentally easier to upgrade/adapt compared to hardware makes this race to control profit/tech a pitiful dream of the greedy fossils at the helm of it. Besides, it would be even more naive to think they're not already pushing their own R&D to capitalize on the AI tools available...
- It's just digitally signing the metadata, so that you know a picture was taken with an actual camera.
  
  Which is super useful because I regularly verify the sources of the hashes in my metadata and most artists will make a habit of that too!
  If it's just a hash, you'll trick people 99% of the time with a random hash, who's gonna check?
It would be cool if you could add information into the camera and have it encode this information at the time of taking the photo too
- Lol. Whenever I send photos and videos, I make sure to delete metadata for privacy reasons. Sometimes it will show location, exact device, owner information, and other stuff I don't want other people to know.
  
  I mean in the image data not the metadata, obviously you can encode data into an image in exif but from the sounds of this article I got the sense it was more about detecting pixel fucking which suggests it can encode more data outside the header
- Hello time traveler, welcome to 2024
How does this deal with light photoshopping? like changing contrast, colors, etc
