Is anyone doing a project like this?
Title: The Open Timestamps Historical Preservation Initiative
Problem: AI deep fakes are being weaponized for politically motivated propaganda, 1984-style.
Example: a deep fake video of Reagan-era economist Art Laffer making statements and testimonials that rewrite history.
Solution: use #opentimestamps to notarize videos and documents of historically important figures such as Art.
Example: pair a hacker expert in OTS with a historian like Brian D of the Laffer Center
Urgency: very urgent, given the pace of technological advancement.
This is a project that would deserve LTS from
@OpenSats,
@HRF, or similar organization.
