Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
Cornell researchers have developed a method to embed hidden watermarks in light fluctuations within videos, enabling detection of manipulated or fake content. This innovation aims to combat misinformation by marking important events or locations with nearly invisible lighting changes, which are recorded as watermarks in videos.

· 3 pulledFact-checkers may have a new tool in the fight against misinformation.
The idea is to hide information in nearly-invisible fluctuations of lighting at important events and locations.
These fluctuations are designed to go unnoticed by humans, but are recorded as a hidden watermark in any video captured under the special lighting.
