I think doing this right goes the other direction. What we're going to end up with is a focus on provenance.

We already understand that with text. We know that to verify words, we have to trace it back to the source, and then we evaluate the credibility of the source.

There have been periods where recording technology ran ahead of faking technology, so we tended to just trust photos, audio, and video (even though they could always be used to paint misleading pictures). But that era is over. New technological tricks may push back the tide a little here and there, but mostly we're going to end up relying on, "Who says this is real, and why should we believe them?"
