🚨 Important article: Image and data authenticity unlock opportunity and efficiency in the AI era. Truepic works with some of the world's largest companies for this very reason.

It is important to view image authenticity not only as a safety measure but also as a driver of digital transformation and efficiency. When services, businesses, and governments can instantly verify the integrity of what they see and receive, everything works better, writes Truepic's Mounir Ibrahim.

What a pleasure to be a guest at @mouniribrahim.bsky.social's Digital Content Provenance class at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA). This is the first course of its kind. The conversation was inspiring and so very relevant to this moment in history.

Important read.
I wrote the latest cover story for The Atlantic. It's about the far-ranging implications of one simple statistic: Americans have never spent so much time alone, and surging solitude is warping our society.
I'm really proud of it, and I hope you read it.

I can’t think of a better way to honor Jimmy Carter than donating to Habitat for Humanity. He and Rosalynn first began volunteering with the nonprofit in 1984 — 3 years after leaving the White House. They volunteered every year until 2020, eventually helping to build and repair 4,390 Habitat homes.

Authorities are urging calm. But with trust in media and other institutions at all-time lows, fringe theories are winning the day.
