S5E07: Transparency and Trust 
A standards body fighting against misinformation and media manipulation is building an evolving toolkit which can be used “as a Swiss Army knife,” according to its chair.
In this episode we are joined by Andrew Jenks, chair of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA), and he tells host Craig Wilson of the work of the organization and how it is having to rapidly evolve to deal with emerging challenges.
The C2PA is attempting to address the issue of media provenance by developing technical standards which the industry can use to verify content. It is supported by major tech companies and media organizations such as Microsoft, Meta, Google, Adobe, the BBC, Amazon, Sony, and others. Avid is a member of the C2PA.
