Fake photos online are increasing exponentially and with it misinformation. After all, it is a natural and inevitable consequence of the ease with which\u00a0you can retouch a photo with a single tap\u00a0on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

The chances of coming across\u00a0a tutorial on how to edit a photo\u00a0while scrolling through your Instagram, Facebook, and other social feeds are extremely high.\u00a0Moving a subject, removing a detail, cropping a background\u00a0now requires zero skills and zero time, so anyone can become a photo editor and share sometimes harmless, sometimes dangerous creations online.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Fake photos: increasingly easy to create and spread<\/span><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

Approximately 54,400 photos are taken per second with smartphones, a total of 1.72 trillion per year, and\u00a0billions of these images,as well as videos,\u00a0are shared online every day. How many of them are real? How many are false?\u00a0Can you tell the true from the false?<\/p>\n

It is evident how these data grow exponentially following technological advancement and how consequently the line between what is true and what is false grows thinner and thinner. A major problem is also\u00a0the lack of a regulatory authority\u00a0to control the quality of information shared online, consequently making it of low quality and reliability.<\/p>\n

Added to this is the simplicity and accessibility with which even the most complex of editing tasks can now be done. In fact, each phone player\u00a0invests and bets heavily on the camera of the next model: for example, the even more amazing quality of photos and videos is always emphasized in marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n

The highest quality photos are followed by the thousands of apps that simplify editing tools, thus enabling retouching and manipulation that until recently was only possible with professional and complex tools such as photoshop. Moreover, we are already witnessing the next phase with\u00a0Google and Apple\u00a0that\u00a0integrate the most popular editing tools directly into their default systems.\u00a0With iOS 16, for example, it is possible to completely contour the subject of the photo with a single tap, an operation that previously required skills, professional tools, and most importantly, time.<\/p>\n

With the following videos, we highlight how artificial intelligence and machine learning can be used to edit photos on the smartphone in a matter of moments:<\/p>\n<\/div>

How to ensure the authenticity of documents and images with an app<\/span><\/h2><\/h3><\/div>

In the absence of authority and legislation to regulate this flow of manipulated photos and fake news, technology as a solution can only come into the picture again. Using the same weapon to be able\u00a0to guarantee the authenticity and unchangeability of photos and restore trust in the digital world\u00a0is\u00a0TrueScreen’s\u00a0mission.<\/p>\n

Ensuring that a photo does not run the risk of being edited and manipulated is a new and pressing need because photos, but also video, audio, screenshots, are often used to substantiate facts or events. For this TrueScreen develops\u00a0an app\u00a0of the same name that\u00a0validates and certifies with legal value all media files that can be captured with a mobile device.<\/p>\n

TrueScreen is\u00a0an easy-to-use and intuitive app\u00a0that allows you\u00a0to instantly apply a time stamp and digital seal, guaranteeing\u00a0date certain\u00a0of the time of capture and making manipulation of the captured content impossible.<\/p>\n

From content capture within the app to forensic report generation, the entire chain of custody of digital evidence is preserved using\u00a0ISO 27037 Standard-compliant forensic methodologies and procedures.<\/p>\n<\/div>
