Fox Launches Blockchain-based Open Source Platform with Polygon Labs The Fox Corporation has partnered
with Polygon Labs to unveil the new blockchain-based Verify, an open source platform designed
to verify the authenticity of content and track its use across the web. Built on Polygon PoS, the core blockchain infrastructure can transparently prove authenticity of content. Publishers who opt in to the platform will be able to prove their content’s organization
in hopes of tackling authenticity problems caused by the rapid development of AI. “Though advances in AI have developed at a breathtaking pace, one downside of these platforms has been the rise of AI-generated media, from articles to audio to images,” reads a January 9th statement from Paragon Labs.
“There is broad agreement this problem needs to be met head on, but there haven’t been many real-world solutions that prove the provenance of any given piece of content. Researchers at Polygon Labs have been building the core blockchain infrastructure that can transparently prove authenticity.” Allegations of defamation and hard-hitting litigation
News of the media conglomerate’s latest venture follows a nearly $3 billion litigation brought against the company by Smartmatic, a voting technology company
, for its alleged defamatory reporting during the 2020 election.
