We’ve all felt it: the internet is getting louder, faster, and stranger.
Generative media has scaled at an unprecedented rate. One minute we’re laughing at surreal SORA clips, bunnies bouncing on trampolines, wolves politely knocking on front doors, and the next we’re drowning in an endless cycle of AI-generated clickbait. It’s cheap. It’s infinite. And it spreads like wildfire.
As AI slop floods social platforms, the line between real and synthetic blurs. And as our feeds warp, so does our sense of connection and trust.
That loss of trust doesn’t stay online. It spills into the real world.
When doctored audio, fabricated video, and deepfakes enter courtrooms, security operations, compliance processes, or incident investigations, the consequences become deeply real. Nearly every organization now depends on digital content and video evidence. As manipulated media becomes indistinguishable from reality, the risks grow not just in scale but in seriousness. Detecting fakery after the fact is becoming an unwinnable race.
This is why authenticity has to begin long before footage is reviewed. To address modern threats to content authenticity, organizations need a modern solution that detects AI tampering at the moment of capture. Our answer? Protecting trust in content with AI-resistant video.
Point-of-capture authentication shifts the conversation from speculation to certainty. Cameras have always been our tools for documenting reality, but reality now has a competitor that can mimic it down to the pixel. Instead of hoping we can catch manipulation after it happens, it’s time to embed truth directly into the recording process itself.
That’s the idea behind SWEAR, a platform built to make video authenticity verifiable, secure, and enduring. Rather than trying to detect tampering after the fact, SWEAR creates independent proof as the video is captured, making each recording AI-resistant from the start. The concept is simple: validate, don’t speculate. SWEAR’s proof-of-origin technology fingerprints every frame and sound at capture, generating what we call Digital DNA. This unique record defines the original version of the video. Once created, that proof is anchored to a permissioned, tamper-evident ledger designed for privacy and long-term integrity. During playback, SWEAR checks the video against its proof and delivers a clear yes or no.
There’s no scoring system, no probabilities, just clarity.

This approach provides a dependable chain of custody from capture to playback. Whether a video is stored in a VMS, exported for court, or reviewed by a journalist, authenticity remains intact. Even better, SWEAR’s proof is independent of the media itself. That means no watermarks to strip, no metadata to erase, and no risk of altering the original file. The proof travels alongside the content, never inside it, allowing authenticity to endure through any export or format change.
The impact of point-of-capture authentication extends far beyond security operations. It provides a foundation for truth across industries that rely on verifiable visual data, including law enforcement, media, government, and critical infrastructure. Wherever video supports accountability (which is everywhere), SWEAR provides the confidence that what’s being seen is exactly what was recorded.
The result is a future where authenticity becomes a built-in expectation rather than an afterthought. SWEAR’s technology creates a durable link between truth and evidence, giving every recording a digital origin story that can be proven at any moment.
