The White House wants to 'cryptographically verify' videos of Joe Biden so viewers don't mistake them for AI deepfakes::Biden's AI advisor Ben Buchanan said a method of clearly verifying White House releases is "in the works."

Fair point, I agree with this. There should probably be another icon in the browser that shows if all, some, or none of the media on a page has signatures that can be validated. Though that gets messy as well, because what is "media"? Things can be displayed in a web canvas or SVG that appears to be a regular image, when in reality it's rendered on the fly.

Security and cryptography UX is hard. Good point, thanks for bringing that up! Btw, this is kind of my field.

I run /r/crypto at reddit (not so active these days due to needing to keep it locked because of spam bots, but it's not dead yet), usability issues like this are way too common

I ran /r/cryptotechnology for years, and am good friends with the /r/cc mods. Reddit is a mess though, especially in the crypto areas.
