That’s another job for journalism  \nObvious AI-generated photos and videos are being replaced by more convincing fare  \nThe Globe and Mail’s Standards Editor provides insight into the newsroom practices and processes that guide our coverage  \nIf it seems as though fewer AI  \ngenerated photos and videos  \nare being posted online – look again. Images with six-fingered celebrities and videos with obviously artificial movements have simply been replaced by more convincing fare.  \nIn July, for example, a photo that appeared to show United States senator Mitch McConnell on life support fooled a number of people, until it was debunked by the digital fact-checker Lead Stories.  \n“It’s so good and so prevalent… it’s invisible to you now. It’s just part of what you’re constantly consuming,” said Patrick Dell, The Globe and Mail’s deputy head of photo and video, who specializes in visual verification. And the output just keeps getting better.  \nYes, I’m writing about artificial intelligence once again, but this time with a focus on The Globe and Mail’s policy for photos and video.  \nThe rules governing photojournalism have always been strict, with The Globe’s Editorial Code of Conduct stating that,“News images are documentary images. They should not be manipulated, combined or distorted either in a camera or on a computer.”  \nFurther, the Code specifies that, “All images that appear in the newspaper or on the web go through three distinct processes: photography, editing and editorial oversight.” In response to the rise of AI-generated content, au","cbCaidDJH6McaFE6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidDJH6McaFE6","pdf",23749639,78,"English","# Investigation\n## Visual verification standards for photos and video\n## Editorial code of conduct and authenticity checks\n## Tools and methods (fact-checking and detection)\n## Examples of AI misuse and image editing violations\n## Corrections, guidelines, and workflow updates","[{\"question\":\"What problem is The Globe and Mail addressing regarding AI photos and videos?\",\"answer\":\"AI-generated images and videos are becoming convincing enough to pass initial scrutiny, so the newsroom has expanded authenticity checks to maintain documentary accuracy.\"},{\"question\":\"What does The Globe’s Editorial Code of Conduct require for news images?\",\"answer\":\"The code states that news images are documentary images and should not be manipulated, combined, or distorted, and that images go through photography, editing, and editorial oversight.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the newsroom verify the authenticity of a photo or video?\",\"answer\":\"Verification can include comparing other images from the same place and date, checking verified subject whereabouts for consistency, and using tools such as Hive AI Detector and satellite images.\"}]","The Globe and Mail - Standards for Photos and Video in the Age of AI | PDF",1791067193,197]
