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.”

    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
