Polygon Labs, in collaboration with Fox, announced the launch of a groundbreaking technology platform, Verify, on January 9. This innovative tool is designed to authenticate the origin of media content, a significant step forward in an era increasingly dominated by AI-generated material. Verify aims to enable users to confidently determine the true source of articles and images, ensuring that content attributed to a particular publisher indeed originates from them.

Polygons Verify Tackles Media Citation Issues

The rapid proliferation of AI-generated text and images has presented a significant challenge to the integrity of online content. Verify emerges as a solution to this growing concern, allowing users to distinguish between authentic and AI-generated content. This technology does not evaluate the truthfulness of the content but focuses on verifying its origin. The platform’s introduction directly responds to the challenges faced by media organizations and others dealing with citation or copyright issues in the AI era.

Polygon’s initiative with Fox is particularly timely, considering the legal challenges various media entities face. Fox News, part of Fox Corporation, is currently embroiled in a lawsuit with Smartmatic regarding false narratives circulated about the 2020 US Presidential Election. Similarly, Dominion Voting Systems settled a lawsuit with Fox for $787 million. These cases highlight the complexities and legal entanglements of disseminating unverified or false content.

Legal Landscape and Industry Response

The legal landscape surrounding AI-generated content has become increasingly complex. The New York Times filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft in December, accusing them of using its content without authorization to train AI chatbots. This groundbreaking case reflects the broader challenges media organizations face in adapting to the surge of AI-generated content.

In 2023, using AI tools in content creation led to significant industry upheaval, with the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists going on strike. The strike highlighted the growing concerns over the use of AI in the media and entertainment industries, underscoring the need for tools like Verify to establish clear boundaries and origins of content.
