This Leica Camera Stops Deepfakes at the Shutter
First camera with built-in content credentials verifies photos'
authenticity

And the M11-P is just the tip of the iceberg. Canon and Nikon already
have prototype cameras with content credentialing support. Smartphones
will also get in on the action. Truepic, a startup that builds
"authenticity infrastructure," has partnered with Qualcomm to make
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chips support content credentials; those
chips will power flagship Android smartphones next year.

The explosion outside a hospital in Gaza on 17 October 2023
underscored how content credentials could make a difference. Early
reports pinned the blame on an Israel airstrike. Israel disputed these
reports on social media and shared a video that claimed to show the
blast was caused by a failed Palestinian rocket, but a New York Times
reporter noticed it carried an incorrect time stamp, which cast doubt
on its authenticity and bolstered suspicions about Israeli
involvement.
Other images eventually cast doubt on early headlines. New, verifiable
photos and videos led to a report from AP News that said "a rocket
launched from Gaza that failed mid-flight" was the likely cause of the
hospital explosion. Other publications, including The New York Times
and The Washington Post, published independent stories based on new photographic and video evidence that reached mixed conclusions about
the blast's origins (which remain disputed). But verifying the photos
and videos, which came from a variety of professional and amateur
sources, took days. By then, many people had already formed their
opinions about who was responsible.
