The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes

The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes::Biden's AI advisor Ben Buchanan said a method of clearly verifying White House releases is "in the works."

Tinfoil hat time. It's probably because they need to start creating AI videos to show he's 'competent and coherent' and they'll say their 'tests proves that it's a real video not a fake. And since the government said it's true, morons will believe it.

I don’t have nearly enough tinfoil for this

If Trump is any indication, no politician will ever need to be 'competent and coherent' ever again, constituents would vote in a literal corpse if it had a sign propped on it saying "gays bad"

There is that. It's kind of like the people that are proud to vote for Biden again too. The whole thing is a fucking joke.

Honestly I'd say that's on the way for any video or photographic evidence.

You'd need a device private key to sign with, probably internet connectivity for a timestamp from a third party.

Could have lidar included as well so you can verify that it's not pointing at a video source of something fake.

Is there a cryptographically secure version of GPS too? Not sure if that's even possible, and it's the weekend so I'm done thinking.

It's way more feasible to simply require social media sites to do the verification and display something like a blue check on verified videos.

This is actually a really good idea. Sure there will still be deepfakes out there, but at least a deepfake that claims to be from a trusted source can be removed relatively easily.

Theoretically a social media site could boost content that was verified over content that isn't, but that would require social media sites to not be bad actors, which I don't have a lot of hope in.

I agree that it’s a good idea. But the people most swayed by deepfakes of Biden are definitely the least concerned with whether their bogeyman, the “deep state” has verified them

Yeah it's not going to change the mind of the folks making the deepfakes.

Positioning using distance bounded challenge-response protocols with multiple beacons is possible, but none of the positioning satellite networks supports it. And you still can't prove the photo was taken at the location, only that somebody was there.

So basically Biden ads on the blockchain.

Think of generating an md5sum to verify that the file you downloaded online is what it should be and hasn't been corrupted during the download process or replaced in a Man in the Middle attack.
