Nikon, Sony and Canon are planning to add technology that will embed digital signatures in photos taken with their cameras to distinguish them from AI generated fakes.
The information embedded will include location, date, time and photographer.
One question is how the signature deals with any image retouching. Does using Photoshop invalidate the signature? How about AI-based retouching like the Magic Eraser in Pixel phones?
That said, it’s nice to see this effort.
