How can you tell whether a photograph is authentic, manipulated or entirely generated by artificial intelligence?
As generative AI technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, distinguishing genuine photographs from AI-generated or AI-modified images presents a growing challenge for the visual media industry. For news agencies in particular, the authenticity and credibility of editorial photography are fundamental.
On Thursday 19 November at 16:00 CET, CEPIC invites its members to an exclusive webinar with Alexander Schippers, forensic image expert at Dutch news agency ANP, for a practical look at how images can be examined for signs of AI generation and manipulation.
Drawing on his experience examining photographs for manipulation and the use of generative AI, Alexander will share insights into his work as a forensic image expert.
Using real-life examples, he will demonstrate how generative AI has been used to create or alter images, highlight the signs that may indicate manipulation, and explain the techniques he uses to assess their authenticity.
The session will offer CEPIC members an opportunity to better understand the challenges of image verification and the practical considerations involved in protecting the integrity of visual content.
