Sony partners with AP and Camera Bits to develop technology for identifying real and AI-manipulated photos in cameras.

New technology creates a 'birth certificate' for images with digital signatures, making photo verification simple and reliable.

Sony's solution helps news agencies fight falsified images, crucial for maintaining public trust in accurate photojournalism.

The digital signature stays intact despite photo edits, preserving the image's original authenticity effectively.
