Content Credentials

This glossary listing was published on

A content labelling and content verification system that uses an icon (called a Content Credentials pin) to show users information about the content’s creator, provenance, use of AI and the organisation that issued the credentials.

Adobe is its biggest proponent, but other players including Leica Camera, Microsoft, Nikon and Publicis Groupe have implemented it. It is aligned with the Content Authenticity Initiative.
