Company mission
To create the global trust infrastructure for digital media, so we can always discern between what is real, human, provable content, and what is fake.

Our take
The onset of deepfakes and misleading AI-generated content is making it ever harder to determine fake news from reality. At its best, this has dampened the trust between the public and the content they see online. At its worst, it has escalated dangerous situations.
OpenOrigins wants to safeguard the world's content by providing blockchain-powered validation and security for content assets. The ultimate idea is to create a trust layer for the internet so that truth can always be proven.
Its a valuable undertaking, and a service that will surely be well-received by any business with content to protect. The company already works with partners across the media ecosystem, ensuring that while they are able to benefit from AI they can also avoid risk to their businesses.
