Can you trust what you see online, when AI can generate anything and anyone can cryptographically sign a lie?
In this episode of The SSI Orbit Podcast, host Mathieu Glaude sits down with Scott Perry, Founder & CEO of the Digital Governance Institute, to explore why cryptography alone can’t solve misinformation, deepfakes, fraud, or content manipulation, and why digital trust now depends on governance, provenance, and verifiable accountability.
Scott breaks down how the C2PA standard (a coalition of the world’s largest tech companies) is creating a global “nutrition label” for digital content, enabling us to know where a digital asset came from, who touched it, and whether it’s been altered. He also shares how creator assertions, certificate authorities, and rights management frameworks work together to build a multi-layer trust fabric for the next generation of the internet.
Whether you’re working in digital identity, trust frameworks, AI systems, journalism, media, or enterprise risk, this episode provides a clear look into the future of trustworthy digital content.
