The death of the pixel: Why cryptographic provenance is the next identity frontier | Biometric Update

For years, digital identity verification rested on a straightforward assumption: if a face appears to be real on camera, it probably is.
Generative #AI has broken that assumption.

Fraudsters increasingly have access to virtual cameras, emulators, compromised devices and techniques to manipulate the data an application receives. In an injection attack, synthetic or manipulated media can be introduced directly into an identity verification flow rather than presented to a physical camera. The verification system may believe it is examining a person captured by a device sensor. What it is actually evaluating is a manufactured signal.

And in this thread they explain how goolag are violating the GPL and making it harder and slower to get the source code for android in pixels.

They say this won't happen with their Motorola graphene OS devices starting in 2027
