Tony Northrup describes the two-sided problem of fake AI images & video. The first side is obvious: AI pictures and video are constantly used to mislead and scam people. The second side is that real images and video are being falsely declared as AI so they can be dismissed.

Today, social media is trying to fight this problem by indicating which pictures and video are AI-generated, but they're doing a TERRIBLE job at it. Most fake AI images can't be detected, and all efforts at labelling them are ineffective against bad actors and scammers.

The better solution is to label REAL images, but that's technically complex. Tony Northrup lays out a workable solution using public key cryptography and secure image processing hardware that can eventually give us green verification checkmarks on images that ARE actually real. People will naturally begin to question any image that isn't verified.
