This seemed like the inevitable next step in digital media recording devices as generative tools get more advanced.

The neat part here is that the algorithm survives retouching of the photo, so you can still do typical things like cleaning up contrast, color balance, etc., without destroying the authenticity of the image.

This is an interesting feature. Hopefully it is not a potential attack surface for spoofing.

The verification aspect seems like a potential privacy disaster, but as long as there are extensive user controls it hopefully won't be unavoidable.

I could see this being an optional feature you set before the act of recording. The lack of 'verified' media might represent a form of digital divide over time though, especially in the legal sphere.
