Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
Strong convergence signal — the two largest AI labs aligned on the same dual-layer model with Search/Chrome distribution coming — but each layer has documented blind spots (fragile metadata, context-free + attackable watermarks) and absence of a signal proves nothing.
Next
Pilot the dual-layer (C2PA Content Credentials + SynthID) on our own generated media outputs; treat third-party verification results as advisory-only and never as a binary authenticity gate.
