The hard part is deciding how much post processing is acceptable with these images. Feels like a lot of phone cameras optimize images and curious how much of it is considered “AI”

I was thinking any photo created with a camera should be signed. Why we don't have that in 2026 is beyond me.

But what you're talking about is the generative aspect of these photos likely expanding over time. We're seeing that today with the ultra zoom features on some cameras regenerating objects (and especially text). Without the user doing anything the phone will generatively fill in detail, most worryingly text and people. Then there's the Samsung moon issue - taking a photo of a pixelated printout of the moon caused Samsung phones to generate a new image of the moon.

  • Signing doesn't really achieve anything when an attacker can manipulate the device into signing arbitrary pixels.

    Nobody knows how to make a camera that can distinguish honest vs deceptive photons.
