Building Cairn: proof that a photograph is real. Each capture is cryptographically signed and independently timestamped — so in an AI-image world, photographers can prove “this is real.”

International Atomic Energy Agency: New IAEA Research Project to Improve Cultural Heritage Authentication and Provenance Techniques Using Nuclear Science. “The IAEA’s work on cultural heritage focuses on four pillars: non-destructive analysis, radiation-based conservation, combating illicit trafficking and cross-disciplinary research… This work supports the IAEA’s mission to promote the […]

„Have you developed some tools?“

Today I had the pleasure to meet interesting people from all around the #NFDI at the 4th NFDI Berlin-Brandenburg network meeting (https://events.hifis.net/event/3380/).
The event was about #provenance and #reproducibility and people represented diverse fields, spanning astronomy, medicine, chemistry and history.

I am always impressed by the wealth of practical solutions and tools, e.g., to document workflows and create metadata. I too enjoy coding, but sticking to the critical discussion is definitely a comfort zone in sociology…

PS thanks @wikimediaDE for hosting the event. Sitting on a wooden box and having some mate is the most Berlin thing I have done recently…

In a world where AI agents consume, remix, and redistribute content at machine speed, three questions become urgent:

➡️ How do you prove what's yours?
➡️ How do you declare what AI did to it?
➡️ And how do you set the terms under which it can be used?

Твой код на Rust компилируется, проходит тесты и является UB. Ты просто об этом не знаешь

Если взять случайный крейт с crates.io и поставить его под Miri, шанс увидеть undefined behavior где-то в зависимостях стремится к единице. Разбираемся, почему: pointer provenance, Stacked Borrows, Tree Borrows и почему noalias в LLVM выключали три раза.

Multimodal AI without provenance is a deepfake factory. The 2026 fix is per-frame signing, voice gating, and a consent envelope around every output.

Tries to give a hand with tracking provenance as well as comparing #AI models.
