the world is getting increasingly surveilled as well, I guess the presumption is that eventually you'll just be able to cross reference a 'verified' recording of the scene against whatever media exists.

"We ran the vid against the nationally-ran Japanese scanners, turns out that there are no streets that look like this, nor individuals."

in other words I think that the sudden leap of usable AI into real life is going to cause another similar leap towards non-human verification of assets and media.
