Truepic is partnering with Qualcomm to embed reliable metadata in photos at the moment of capture in order to restore trust in photos and videos on smartphones. Currently, 75% of people worry that fake news is being used as a weapon to undermine society. Misinformation spreads much farther and faster than the truth on social media due to a lack of gatekeepers and the incentive to get attention. Various companies are working on tools to detect deepfakes and verify photos to address this issue and enable more trust online.

5. Social media: no gatekeepers &
the attention incentive.
New tech, new media capabilities:
from deepfakes to GPT-3.
Distrust towards institutions &
society.
10. We could enable genuine trust
online?
Regulators and/or platforms
prevented or flagged the
distribution of altered content?
'Fake' content was simply better?
Personalized, multi-language, etc.
