In this second episode in Privacy on the Ground's series about AI Verify, Chin discusses the evolution of AI Verify, the methods and approaches it has developed and piloted, recent initiatives such as its generative AI-focused global AI Assurance Pilot, and the obstacles that external auditors like Resaro might face when it comes to accessing important components of AI systems needed for meaningful assessment. The interview was recorded in November 2025. The Privacy on the Ground intro theme features music by Pangal. Episode music is by Zefyr.

The Evolution of Singapore's AI Verify Episode I: Policy Is Implementation

Some might consider AI Verify's "building the plane as it flies" approach to AI governance to be rushed or risky; some might question the organization's deep collaboration with industry. But no matter what, it's hard to argue that Singapore's AI Verify project -- and its unique policy sandbox style model -- is influential and offers a real-world example of AI governance that is willing to test and iterate much in the same way that the tech industry itself does. In this first episode of our three-part series on Singapore's AI Verify, listeners will learn about the history and evolution of AI Verify and its key projects, and get a glimpse from insiders into one of its most recent efforts aimed at assessing generative AI applications.

Privacy, Identity and Trust in C2PA, An Explainer Series - Part III: The C2PA Trust Model

In part three of World Privacy Forum's explainer series about C2PA, we'll talk trust. C2PA is not intended to directly determine the trustworthiness of content, but it does have a Trust Model and C2PA metadata are meant to be used as signals for measuring content trustworthiness. In this episode, you'll learn about the C2PA Trust Model process including the Conformance Program, Trust List, and why the absence of C2PA metadata can affect how trustworthiness of content is measured.

Privacy, Identity and Trust in C2PA, An Explainer Series - Part II: Identity in C2PA

If you're looking for an accessible overview of how C2PA - aka Content Credentials - works technically and how it relates to privacy, identity, and trust, this is it! In our first episode in this explainer series about C2PA, we shared an overview of how C2PA works, and what it does in relation to privacy, identity, and trust. In this second episode, we dig deeper into Identity in C2PA. You'll learn about what sorts of users want identity to be attached to content metadata – and who doesn't, and about the risks and tradeoffs of identity in relation to C2PA. And you'll hear from Pam Dixon, World Privacy Forum's executive director, about existing digital identity systems, regulations and infrastructure around the world and how they could relate to C2PA.

Privacy, Identity and Trust in C2PA: An Explainer Series (Part 1)

If you're looking for an accessible overview of how C2PA works technically and how it relates to privacy, identity, and trust, this is it! Imagine a system that automatically generates detailed data showing where the digital images, videos and documents we encounter came from, who made them, how they have changed, who owns the rights to their use, and even whether AI was used in their creation. Some say C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) promises to be just that. C2PA is a technical framework for connecting digital media content such as images and videos to data about the origins of and changes made to that content. But it is not just a "content labeling" system. C2PA is intended to provide signals for gauging trustworthiness of content, kind of like provenance documentation indicating the authenticity of an oil painting or showing how some ancient artifact changed hands over time. But how does C2PA really work? How does it relate to privacy, identity, and trust? And what could its use mean for our information and data ecosystem? It's too early to know whether C2PA will be one of those behind-the-scenes systems that shift the tectonic plates of our digital media ecosystem. But it's the right time to take a step back and assess what we do know about C2PA and what it could mean – not just for the future of digital information but for our connections to it.
