Ongoing work includes an audio tape digitization project, digitization of still photos, and the implementation of a media asset management system (CatDV), which will be used in all aspects of station operations from automated production and digital asset preservation workflows to metadata management. CatDV and other integrated systems will be an integral part of our data-driven approach to providing improved services to our communities and meeting our station’s mission.Position Description We are looking for a currently enrolled graduate student to join our team for a part time position with the Austin PBS Archive.

Our #image #analysis #pipeline is ready to go into #pruduction.

It combines #AI and #forensic techniques to assess authenticity. It first extracts EXIF/XMP #metadata to detect real camera data forcing a “photograph” classification if present. Then, a CLIP based preprocessor (#computervision) classifies images into categories: photograph, meme, infographic, comic/cartoons, or text only.

Custom configurations (#development) adjust weights so that, for example, memes/text only images discount AI model influence while forensic tests (ELA, FFT, noise, edge sharpness, text detection) (#science, #math) quantify artifacts. #C2PA data is also considered. All evidence is combined to yield a final decision which will be the “confidence percentage” data that will be included in every post moving forward.

There is a difference between logical and physical servers. Your DNS lookups are not decentralized, and usually can be seen over the wire.

Unless you run your own recursive resolver, you will be revealing a lot of information about your traffic even if it is encrypted. Even if you run your own recursive resolver, you will reveal metadata, albeit, at a possibly lower rate.

Toch wel grappig dat die aanvalsplannen via @signalapp werden gelekt. De hele Amerikaanse overheid houdt onderling contact via Signal. Niet via WhatsApp.

Willen ze hun #MetaData niet delen met #Meta? Als je #WhatsApp gebruikt krijgt Meta immers inzicht in wie met wie appt en wanneer. En ongetwijfeld je locatie, of je op WiFi zit en nog veel meer.

Waarom staan wij wel dergelijke gegevens aan Meta af?

"The Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP's) national internet censor just announced that all AI-generated content will be required to have labels that are explicitly seen or heard by its audience and embedded in metadata. The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) just released the transcript for the media questions and answers (akin to an FAQ) on its Measures for the Identification of Artificial Intelligence Generated and Synthetic Content [machine translated]. We saw the first signs of this policy move last September when the CAC's draft plans emerged.

This regulation takes effect on September 1, 2025, and will compel all service providers (i.e., AI LLMs) to “add explicit labels to generated and synthesized content.” The directive includes all types of data: text, images, videos, audio, and even virtual scenes. Aside from that, it also orders app stores to verify whether the apps they host follow the regulations.

Users will still be able to ask for unlabeled AI-generated content for “social concerns and industrial needs.” However, the generating app must reiterate this requirement to the user and also log the information to make it easier to trace. The responsibility of adding the AI-generated label and metadata falls on the shoulders of this end-user person or entity."

The Conversation: Museums have tons of data, and AI could make it more accessible − but standardizing and organizing it across fields won’t be easy. “AI tools can do amazing things, such as make 3D models of digitized versions of the items in museum collections, but only if there’s enough well-organized data about that item available. To see how AI can help museum collections, my team […]
