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.”
Yea, that was not him last week trying to talk and donrt even remembering where he got the resary or frkm who… Does he remember his kid?
So should Taylor Swift
Wait. Did the White House just discover a legitimate use-case for NFTs?
No, all you need for this is a digital signature and to publish the public key on an official government website. And maybe for platforms like YouTube and TikTok to integrate check status in their UI (e.g. flag any footage of candidates that was not signed by the government private key as “unverified”).
How would an NFT help in any way?
Tinfoil hat time. It’s probably because they need to start creating AI videos to show he’s ‘competent and coherent’ and they’ll say their 'tests proves that it’s a real video not a fake. And since the government said it’s true, morons will believe it.
If Trump is any indication, no politician will ever need to be ‘competent and coherent’ ever again, constituents would vote in a literal corpse if it had a sign propped on it saying “gays bad”
the technology to do this has existed for decades and it’s crazy to me that people aren’t doing it all the time yet
