At its annual product event, Apple announced a feature designed to help people verify that a photo was captured with an iPhone. Nieman Lab reports the tool is meant to make it easier to know where an image came from and whether it has been edited, offering provenance data that could be useful for spotting AI-altered pictures.
The new capability was first rumored last month and has now been officially confirmed. According to the announcement, the feature tracks both the origin of an image and any modifications made to it, giving viewers a clear signal about whether what they are looking at is an original, unedited camera photo.
