Tackling Content Authenticity with Blockchain and C2PA

In May 2019, a video of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, appearing to be drunkenly slurring her speech, went viral. It was quickly debunked as a deepfake—a manipulated video designed to mislead viewers. This was many internet users’ first interaction with a convincing deepfake. The ensuing furore highlighted the growing threat posed by deepfakes and AI-generated content. Deepfakes leverage advanced machine learning techniques to create hyper-realistic but entirely fabricated videos, images, and audio. A...

LIMITLESS: ADVANCING TOKEN-POWERED AI

We believe the possibilities of AI can be limitless when embracing the power of decentralization. Consider just one segment: the AI-generated video sector. AI has already transformed video creation, reducing barriers to access and replacing content that once took entire teams to produce. However, that promise is limited by a serious challenge: It is powered by a largely centralized $49 billion GPU market that is controlled by a few global web2 monopolies (from NVIDIA hardware to Microsoft Azu...
