Blockchain tech could be the answer to uncovering deepfakes and validating content | TechCrunch
Two months ago, media giant Fox Corp. partnered with Polygon Labs, the team behind the Ethereum-focused layer-2 blockchain, to tackle deepfake distrust .
Fox and Polygon launched Verify, a protocol that aims to protect their IP while letting consumers verify the authenticity of content. And since then, government regulatory committees, publishers and others have seen this as a viable solution to a “today problem,” Melody Hildebrandt, CTO of Fox Corp., said on TechCrunch's Chain Reaction podcast .
Hildebrandt said she's bullish that more news outlets, media companies and others will integrate this technology as AI technology goes into the mainstream. It may be beneficial to both AI companies and creators: The models gain knowledge and outlets and individuals can verify their work.
Anna Wintour has paid tribute to Karl Lagerfeld 's legacy ahead of the 2023 Met Gala on Monday 1 May.
This year's theme for the annual fashion extravaganza hosted by Vogue at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art is “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” – in honour of the late fashion designer and former creative director of the house of Chanel.
When asked about the controversy surrounding Lagerfeld, who was known to make divisive comments about issues including same-sex marriage , the MeToo movement, and fatphobia, Wintour acknowleged he's a “snob” but his influence on fashion, undeniable.
“In a world where so much changes, the fact [that] Karl stayed at these two iconic houses [Chanel and Fendi] for half a century and more is unique,” the 73-year-old said.
‘It shows how adored he was, how respected, how creative. You don't stay in those very high-profile positions with such an incredible degree of success. That shows you his passion,” she added. “He would love to take on a new challenge and do different things.”
The announcement for the theme of this year's gala triggered the re-emergence of Lagerfeld's most controversial comments over the years.
The Good Place actor Jameela Jamil was among those who criticised the magazine's decision on social media.
