Ring's New Tool Fights AI Video Fakes
24 Jan
Summary
- Ring launched a tool to detect edited or AI-generated videos.
- The tool uses the C2PA protocol to verify video authenticity.
- Current limitations mean it may not detect all AI-generated content.

Ring has launched a new public tool to combat the rise of AI-generated and edited videos. This feature, named Ring Verify, allows users to upload Ring videos to check for any alterations. The system operates by verifying a metadata signature based on the C2PA protocol, essentially breaking a "security seal" if the video has been modified in any way.
This initiative is a significant step in addressing the growing challenge of distinguishing authentic footage from fabricated content in the AI age. While the tool has limitations, particularly with videos shared on social media platforms, it provides a crucial method for verifying the integrity of Ring-specific footage. Other companies, like Google with its SynthID for images, are also developing similar technologies, acknowledging the increasing need for content authentication.
