Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

The OpenAI and Google C2PA/SynthID verification tool inspects media for two independent provenance signals: signed C2PA manifests carried as metadata, and SynthID watermarks embedded imperceptibly in the pixels or audio samples. Reading both lets an inspector recover origin information even when metadata has been stripped by re-encoding or by a platform that discards it.
