AI and Multimedia Authenticity Standards Collaboration (AMAS)

Global Not Applicable

The AI and Multimedia Authenticity Standards Collaboration (AMAS) is convened by ITU under the auspices of the World Standards Cooperation and was launched at the AI for Good Summit 2024. The AI and Multimedia Authenticity Standards Collaboration is a global, multistakeholder initiative bringing together global leaders in standards, technology, academia and policy to support the journey toward building trust in digital media. Its mission is to support those who combat malicious deepfakes, protect individual rights and help to build a future where we can trust digital content.

The main objectives of AMAS are to:
1. Provide a global forum for dialogue on priority topics for discussion across standards organisations in the area of AI and multimedia authenticity.
2. Map the landscape of technical standards for AI and multimedia authenticity including but not limited to watermarking, provenance and deepfakes detection while facilitating sharing of knowledge on lessons learned from different stakeholders.
3. Identify gaps where new standards are required given the fast-moving nature of the AI and multimedia authenticity landscape.
4. Support the policy, regulatory requirements and government policy measures with regards to AI and multimedia authenticity to facilitate transparency and legal compliance with but not limited to protection of privacy of users, authorship and the rights of owners and consumers.

More information can be obtained on the website of AMAS: https://aiforgood.itu.int/multimedia-authenticity.
