Adobe’s new app helps credit creators and fight AI fakery
1 min read
Summary
Adobe has launched a public beta of its Content Authenticity web app, which embeds tamper-resistant metadata into images to identify who owns them, allowing artists to secure links to their social media accounts and websites directly in their work.
It also tracks the editing history of images and provides another obstacle for AI image thieves, as it allows artists to specify that they do not give permission for their work to be used for AI training.
The extension works with JPEG and PNG files, with support for larger files and audio and video soon to be introduced.
Anyone can use the tool to see if images they find online have been authenticated, which shows even if hosting platforms have removed the information.
