There is no doubt that AI is making a massive impact on modern life, and for the most part it is giving users a lot of useful tools to use through our tech. But one place that it could be harmful is in the proliferation of AI created or modified images that could be used for nefarious purposes.
No doubt one of the main functions we will eventually have for our personal technology assistants (okay, phones) will be to help tell us when such an image has been manipulated by AI. And that day has arrived, with the Google Pixel 10 leading the way by incorporating a Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) digital watermark in all of the images taken with its camera.

The Pixel 10 is the first phone to implement the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity’s Content Credentials standard. Today Google Images, Lens and Circle understands the digital watermark, with Google Photos to support it soon. I would expect the standard to soon make its way onto iOS devices and more soon.
The Google Pixel line of Smart Phones debuted in October 2016 as a replacement for the previous Nexus line of phones.
