Cryptography in service of truth
fightfake.ai aims to put the magnificent cryptography available today to work for the public good: making it possible to trust what you see and hear, even as generative AI makes fabrication effortless.
Who’s behind this
Miha Stopar
Applied cryptographer with a PhD in post-quantum cryptography (isogenies). Spent five years at the Ethereum Foundation on zero-knowledge proving, fully homomorphic encryption, and post-quantum migration.
Journalism that treats video and photos as evidence is something I admire and want to support. I also believe citizen journalism will become even more important as more people record and publish what happens around them. Authentic media helps make those recordings trustworthy: signed when filmed, with proofs that only the claimed edits were made.
fightfake.ai is a one-person initiative for now. If you want to collaborate (research, cameras, newsrooms, tooling), get in touch.
Mission
Generative AI can fabricate convincing video in seconds. Looking at the pixels, or trusting a label on a website, is not enough. The answer is the cryptography already available: digital signatures, collision-resistant hashing, and zero-knowledge proofs.
fightfake.ai is an open initiative to make that machinery usable for journalists, creators, platforms, and the public.
What fightfake.ai builds
- Specifications: a common envelope for signatures, edit metadata, and proofs.
- Reference provers: tools that emit proofs when you edit media in allowed ways.
- Browser extension: checks published videos and photos (and their proofs) on the pages where readers find them.
- Education: demos, blog, and adoption guide so the ideas spread.
