I don't believe that you can do this for photography. For AI-images, if the embedded data has enough information (model identification and random seed), one can prove that it was AI by recreating it on the fly and comparing. How do you prove that a photographic image was created by a CCD? If your AI-generated image were good enough to pass, then hacking hardware (or stealing some crypto key to sign it) would "prove" that it was a real photograph.

Hell, it might even be possible for some arbitrary photographs to come up with an AI prompt that produces them or something similar enough to be indistinguishable to the human eye, opening up the possibility of "proving" something is fake even when it was actually real.

What you want just can't work, not even from a theoretical or practical standpoint, let alone the other concerns mentioned in this thread.
