My initial reaction was "great, so this is a thing now" but then I opened the article:

> "I applied as a cheeky monkey, to find out, if the comeptitions (sic) are prepared for AI images to enter. They are not."

I withdraw my heavy sigh.

This did get me thinking though -- could camera manufacturers add a new tag to the EXIF data that is cryptographically signed by the camera? This could then be carried over from the RAW format to whichever format the photographer chooses to export as after their touch-ups. This could be verified by contest officiants.

I think it needs the actual photographic data which is unique to be encoded with the camera model perhaps? Tagging is not enough, it needs to be part of the image to really work (I am guessing)

They could, and some already do, but this doesn't fully solve the problem. You'd still be left with the analog loophole[1]. A sufficiently advanced attacker could feed a generated image directly to the camera sensor.

Could take a picture of a picture to gain the watermark.

Where do you draw the line between heavy editing and fully AI-generated? Some edits have little in common with the source, so at which point is the source not relevant anymore? What if you feed an original photo through some AI-enhanced tool like Topaz?
