Verifiable Provenance and Watermarking for Generative AI: An Evidentiary Framework for International Operational Law and Domestic Courts
A new research paper proposes a unified evidentiary framework for generative AI, combining cryptographic provenance, statistical watermarking, and zero-knowledge attestation. This framework aims to address legal challenges across international operational law, domestic court procedures, and product regulation. The study includes a benchmark of 12,000 generated items across various modalities and laundering pipelines, evaluating detection schemes and translating empirical bounds into legal sufficiency thresholds for different regulatory regimes.
