Content Watermarks (C2PA)
C2PA is an industry standard that adds an invisible 'this is real' or 'this was AI-made' label to images and videos.
Cameras from Sony, Nikon, and Leica add C2PA marks at capture. Adobe Firefly adds them to AI images. Browsers are starting to display them.
Three things C2PA does
- Marks photos as camera-original or AI-made
- Tracks edits so you see what was changed
- Hard to remove without breaking the file
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: C2PA is the new way to know if a photo or video is real or AI-made.
