Provenance Verification of AI-Generated Images via a Perceptual Hash Registry Anchored on Blockchain

Evidence Level
2/5

How much verified proof exists for this claim

One strong evidence source: arxiv

Mystery Factor
2/5

How intriguing or unexplained this claim is

The claim presents an emerging narrative with some uncertainties regarding the implementation and effectiveness of the proposed blockchain-backed framework for verifying AI-generated images, but it is grounded in a technical solution with a clear objective, reducing the overall mystery level.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has made the generation of synthetic images widely accessible, increasing concerns related to misinformation, digital forgery, and content authenticity on large-scale online platforms. This paper proposes a blockchain-backed framework for verifying AI-generated images through a registry-based provenance mechanism. Each AI-generated image is assigned a digital fingerprint that preserves similarity using perceptual hashing and is registered at cr...
