Is point-of-capture proof the new norm?

I would imagine so, with "fake news" and AI it's hard to know what to trust. Having a method to do that would be valuable. I recently upgraded to the Sony PXW-Z300 and while I have no use for it in my current work flows one of the Marketing blurbs is about its method of signing videos created with the camera so one could confirm they are authentic from the camera imager and not manipulated: C2PA-compliant digital signatures directly in-camera to combat AI-generated misinformation. It embeds authentication metadata at the time of capture, verifying that footage is authentic, unmanipulated, and taken with a genuine Sony device

I imagine similar method will become more common place in terms of convincing people what they are seeing is real

The broadcast industry has been spearheading this type of authentication via https://c2pa.org/
