The Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)

With increasingly powerful generative AI tools, the rise in digital misinformation, and an urgent need for integrity everywhere from elections to brand advertising, the world of Content Authenticity is exploding with potential.

Content provenance is critical to ensure a trustworthy information ecosystem for consumers, publishers, and enterprises.

Adobe’s CAI is paving the way for an internet where real photos can be distinguished from synthetic ones, and human artists can protect their work and creativity.

Our team believes that creating a long-term solution is a responsibility shared among creators, technology companies, civil society, and media publishers.

We are succeeding by joining together to develop a global technical standard (C2PA) bolstered by a rich open-source ecosystem and simple, clear user experiences.

With over 3000 members and steady growth, the CAI community of implementers is helping ensure leading Content Credentials experiences are available everywhere.
