In an age where artificial intelligence transforms the way we perceive images, Sony introduces a very advanced technology for guarantee the authenticity of the photographs. This innovation, developed in collaboration with theAssociated Press, marks an important step forward in the fight against image manipulation. This way you go towards the direction in which they are set new quality standards.
Sony and the AP: pioneers in the authenticity of photographs taken with smartphones
Sony's new technology that preserves the authenticity of photographs represents a milestone in the evolution of digital photography. Sony, in collaboration with the Associated Press, recently completed the second round of testing for an innovative authenticity indicator integrated directly into the cameras. This system, designed to certify that photos have not been modified using artificial intelligence, is a direct response to growing concerns about image manipulation in journalism.
This technology embeds a unique digital signature into photographs, and serves as concrete proof of the integrity of the image. It is particularly useful for professional journalists and photographers who need a reliable means of attesting to the veracity of their images.
With the use of artificial intelligence and its tools such as GIVE HER o Firefly by Adobe, the distinction between real and artificial becomes increasingly blurred, the importance of such technology is invaluable.
Partnering with Camera Bits has allowed Sony to integrate this technology into Photo Mechanic software, facilitating an efficient and secure workflow. Technology ensures that digital signature remains intact while editing metadata, preserving the authenticity of the image from acquisition to publication.
Metadata, in this case, is all that data "invisible" to the human eye that is part of the body of the photograph. For example, the time and place where a photo is taken, as well as the format and quality are part of the metadata.
David Ake, director of photography at AP, emphasizes the importance of this initiative in the context of the growing spread of fake and manipulated images. Not only such images they contribute to misinformation but also undermine public trust in journalism based on concrete and accurate facts.
Sony's new photo authenticity technology is set to launch in spring of the 2024, initially in the premium Alpha series cameras. Although details on the potential implementation of this technology in the Sony Xperia devices, the integration of artificial intelligence into devices like the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 suggests a future full of possibilities.
