Adobe champions transparency in digital content, advocating for the widespread adoption of Content Credentials – a ‘nutrition label’ for digital content that can show who created it, how it was made, and whether AI was involved. Adobe has been integrating Content Credentials across its Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, where creative professionals can apply Content Credentials to their work to provide information about themselves and their editing process.

Adobe also recently announced a new free web app, Adobe Content Authenticity, which is designed to help creators protect and gain attribution for their work. With the new web app, creators can easily apply Content Credentials in batch to sign their work with their name, social media websites and more. In addition, the Generative AI Training and Usage Preference in the web app allows creators to use Content Credentials to signal if they do not want their content used by or to train other generative AI models on the market. A free, public beta of the web app will be available in Q1 2025.
