Why a Network Approach? No single entity has end-to-end control of digital artifacts. Hardware, software, and humans all contribute to the creation and distribution of content. Internet-wide scale requires viral adoption by developers. Modern software is built on open standards and security — not proprietary technology stacks. This is an arms race. Solutions require human and technical interventions to counter threats — and we’re in a race to out-innovate nefarious actors. Cross-CollaborationA complex issue, cross-collaboration is needed to create the standards that verify the origins of content to combat digital fakes.Public RecordsDeepfakes are a part of the public record PurposefulnessHowever, they need guardrails, warning labels, and identification as purposeful satire or manipulation.TransparencyThere is a value in giving consumers more information rather than less.Self-GovernanceIndividuals should have the power to decide what kind of content is allowed on their platform in accordance with their values, mission, and business model.CommunicationCross-collaboration between industry, government, and civil service drives progress forward.TrustMake it simple to instill trust across the entire internet. _c5ef039c-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea00Today’s consumers have to rely on a website address, the caption or simply their own eyes to determine if content is real. All of those can easily deceive. The DeepTrust Alliance is making it simple to instill trust across the entire internet. We set the standards that simplify a consumer's ability to verify and trust the source of content and the tools to help internet publishers maximize that trust.ConveningsBring together stakeholders in the fight against misinformation._c5ef0478-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea001Convene Stakeholders -- we are bringing together the most important stakeholders in the fight against misinformation.SolutionsPower the fight against disinformation._c5ef0554-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea002Build Solutions -- Build technology standards, best practices and collaboration tools to power the fight against disinformation.StandardsBuild technology standards_c5ef0644-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea002.1Best PracticesBuild best practices_c5ef0748-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea002.2Collaboration ToolsBuild collaboration tools_c5ef082e-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea002.3InterventionsAdopt interventions across teams of rivals_c5ef08e2-744f-11ea-9bd9-2b111683ea003Adoption via Alliance -- Acceleration adoption of critical interventions across a team of rivals to fight deepfakes and misinformation.https://www.deeptrustalliance.org/aboutOwenAmburOwen.Ambur@verizon.net
