It's really getting to the point where multimedia online shouldn't be trusted unless it's from a reputable source and cross verified.

I wonder, is there a universe where maybe cameras are updated to add some sort of digital signature to videos/photos to indicate they are real and haven't been tampered with? Is that feasible/possible? I'm not skilled with cryptography stuff to know, but if we can digital sign documents with some amount of faith...

I've heard folks mention trying to tag AI photos/videos, but it seems like tagging non-AI photos/videos is more feasible?

The idea of a signed and verified stream has only been used to enforce old-school distribution rights. Because of this, the implementations are clunky and have zero incentive for consumer adoption. Why buy your own handcuffs?

The incentive is to prove that the video is not AI generated. Useful for consumers, news organisations, camera manufacturers, etc. The idea would be you can still copy the file/change the video, but the signature will no longer be valid. It's not mean to be restrictive like handcuffs/DRM.
