Our Mission

OpenOrigins was founded with the mission to build global trust back into visual content.

 

Deepfakes and Fabricated AI-generated content threaten our shared understanding of reality, and help media creators benefit from the changing content space. Rather than focusing on 'whack-a-mole' approaches to deepfake detection, OpenOrigins' was created to prove what is real.

 

Using a purpose-built blockchain and proactive content provenance-technologies, OpenOrigins has created the tools needed to allow your organization the ability to prove what's real.  

 

Our team works with media organizations, like ITN, to ensure they benefit from the AI advancement, retain the value of their immense historic archives and futureproof their organizations.

/ Photography is an evidentiary superpower... but only if we can prove the image and video are real.  

 

OpenOrigins was founded with the mission to create a global trust infrastructure for all organizations and individuals that need real, human and provable content to function. 

 

Deepfakes and Fabricated AI-generated content threatens our shared understanding of reality. Although fake news isn't new, the increased sophistication of fakes, with no real way of distinguishing between human and AI-generated synthetic content, threatens the online information sharing ecosystem. 

 

Using a purpose-built blockchain and proactive content provenance-technologies, OpenOrigins has created the tools needed to allow your organization the ability to prove what's real.  

 

We now work with partners across the media ecosystem to ensure that photos and videos can still be trusted in the future of AI, and that they can benefit from the AI revolution, while reducing risk to their businesses.

Our Values

Our Values

/ Monetization

An organizations human-proven content is more valuable then ever when we can no-longer discern it from synthetic content. That's why we build provenance into your assets, and help you license it forward in a way that benefits you.

/ Decentralization:

We believe no company should single-handedly hold the keys to trust online. OpenOrigins infrastructure is built to be free from centralized control, ensuring our trust-system is maintained by those that need it.  

/ Ownership:

We ensure that you always have ownership of your own data, we help prove your copyright, and we ensure your proof data is never locked into a single vendor.

Archive tampering and fake content has the potential to rewrite history.
