It is not a simple case of checking stuff now. AI means something can look very real but be fake, so further checks and techniques are required. Did the BBC had to brand this? is not for me to say. But it will certainly become important in the coming years for people to know media they are looking at is genuine and not fake. But it is not just some new touch screens, there is a new team!My problem with this new 'BBC Verify' branding is that they recently spent quite a few months running a very good promotional video on their channels boasting about how their reporters either verified or personally witnessed events, and showing quotations of their written commitment to do so.
My first impression here is that either that commitment was not genuine, or they think people didn't believe them. Either of those scenarios are worrying.
