I've always thought this is where blockchain technologies can finally be of some practical use - as the age of Deep Fake fully unfolds.
If an organization/entity releases media that is (by them) marked as "real" (or genuine, or trustworthy, original, not tampered with, etc), the stream can be checksummed and committed to a ledger. This way, any content coming from sources participating in this "verity scheme" can be validated against a distributed record (which is presumably incredibly difficult to modify surreptiously).
- idiotsecant 2y agoThat doesn't need block chain though, just a public key.
- btbuildem 2y agoHow would a public key suffice? Once the media has been published, the publisher could alter it, since they have the private key. I don't mean to encrypt the media, I mean to make a hash stream of the media stream, and store that in a way that cannot be adulterated.
