Senior Web Developer Jobs in California (NOW HIRING)

The Content Authenticity Initiative

With the increasing power and availability of powerful generative AI tools, the world of creativity is exploding with potential. With this, comes a certain responsibility for companies to let users know where their content came from. This is where Content Credentials come into play for consumers. It's also an important part of addressing the spread of disinformation and ultimately restoring trust in content, wherever we find it.
The Content Authenticity Initiative team at Adobe believe that creating a long-term solution is a shared responsibility among creators, technology companies, civil society and media publishers. We succeed by joining together to develop an international technical standard (C2PA), bolstered by a rich open source ecosystem and simple user experiences. This is the work of the Adobe CAI team.
