The Internet is a great tool for connecting people, while 'wrong information' breaks people apart.

Adobe will first apply the Content Authenticity Initiative to photos, but plans to apply it to all content editing tools, including music and videos.
It's a very ambitious attempt, but the goal is as simple as 'preventing misunderstandings.' It is about increasing the reliability of information, avoiding division of people, and connecting people.
Adobe explained that it's an attempt to make the Internet a place where people can connect with great ideas, not a place full of doubt and uncertainty.
The Content Authenticity Initiative has already been implemented in the beta version of Photoshop, and the screen looks like the following. You can see at a glance which image was used for compositing, what the author and editing tools were, and what kind of processing was added.
It was also announced at Adobe MAX in 2019 that Adobe is developing a technology to display edited parts in a heat map.
