See how we did it

1. Recorded the original footage from all angles

Multiple recordings of all angles of Nina Schick were pulled together to form a high-quality AI model.

2. Trained the artificial intelligence model

Revel.ai trained an extremely lifelike AI model of Nina until the output was indistinguishable from the real Nina.

3. C2PA signed and timestamped the video

The output was signed as an AI generation with Truepic’s C2PA transparency tools and the creators, Revel.ai.

4. Published the video with transparent details

With Truepic’s Content Credentials Display, you and the world can now know with 100% certainty that this video is AI-generated.

Today, anyone can fake or manipulate photos and videos to make them seem real.

Real content can easily be taken out of context, and misused to misrepresent reality.

The ability to decipher human from AI is foundational to our shared sense of reality.

Our daily decisions — what we buy, who we meet, what we rent, who we vote for, what we believe — are informed by what we see online. What happens if real is actually fake?

Trust the cryptographic security

By signing media with C2PA Content Credentials, every image displayed contains verified, traceable details about the person or organization that signed it, and when it was signed. Signing provides proof about the entity that created each version of a file, and the confidence that it has not been edited in any way since the last signed version.

Compare critical details

See where and when a photo was taken, what AI tool was used to generate an image, or what software was used to edit a photo and how it was edited. When the context of a post, story, or article matter, you can cross reference the critical details and confirm their accuracy yourself.
