Provenance
Content Credentials reach mainstream cameras
What changed. Cryptographic content provenance is going mainstream. Sony's Camera Verify (launched mid-2025 for press photographers) signs images with C2PA digital signatures, and flagship phones — the Samsung Galaxy S25 and Google Pixel 10 — now sign natively. Leica shipped the first C2PA camera back in 2023; the difference now is reach.
Why it matters. As generative tools flood the web with synthetic media, provable origin becomes the trust signal — for humans and for AI engines deciding which sources to believe and cite. Content Credentials move trust from "we assert this is real" to "here is a signature you can verify."
What to do. Get the fundamentals right first — named authorship, honest AI-use disclosure, dated content — then trial Content Credentials on your most important original imagery. It's an early-mover moat while most competitors haven't started.
