Fujifilm joins C2PA and CAI content authentication organizations: Digital Photography Review

Tucked away at the bottom of Fujifilm’s GFX 100S II press release is the news that Fujifilm has joined both the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) and the Content Authentication Initiative (CAI).

The two organizations are, respectively, a group developing the specifications and standards around “content credentials,” the metadata requires to provide proof and traceability of photo and video creation, and a group of companies working to promote the adoption of these credentials as an open standard.

The company says it’s ultimately committed to applying this verification system to its own cameras. Various manufacturers, including Leica, Nikon and Sony are already developing content authentication systems to the C2PA and CAI standard in their cameras.
