The authenticity of photo and video evidence is being challenged as potentially AI-generated for the first time. The White House doctored an arrest photo and called it a meme. AI deepfakes of ICE raids got more engagement than the real footage. This is the story of what happens next.
Witness is a camera app that automatically authenticates your images and videos.
Take photos and video with Witness. Every shot is instantly verified with five independent proof layers - zero extra steps.
Text it to anyone, post directly to Twitter, add to your public profile, or share with your organization. The verification travels with your content.
Anyone can tap the verification badge or scan the QR code to see all five proof layers, timestamp, and location.
See verified content from any location, any time. Zoom into a neighborhood, scrub through a timeline, and see what actually happened. Sharing to the map is always opt-in. Your photos stay private by default.
