c2pa-metadata

description

Embed a C2PA provenance manifest into an AI-generated marketing asset (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, MP4, MOV, WebM, MP3, WAV, PDF) via scripts/embed-c2pa.py — produces a signed copy of the file carrying IPTC digital-source-type AI claims, an optional c2pa.ai-disclosure assertion for EU AI Act Article 50 (applicable 2 Aug 2026), and a JSON status report. Triggers on "/digital-marketing-pro:c2pa-metadata", "sign this AI image for EU compliance", "add content credentials to this asset", "embed provenance metadata", "mark this video as AI-generated". Uses a self-signed dev certificate unless --signing-cert/--signing-key are supplied; pairs with /digital-marketing-pro:check, which verifies manifests pre-publish.

/digital-marketing-pro:c2pa-metadata — Embed Content Authenticity Provenance

Purpose

Wraps scripts/embed-c2pa.py to add a C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) manifest to any AI-generated marketing asset. The manifest carries a machine-readable provenance trail (who generated it, what generator was used, what prompt produced it, when it was reviewed) plus a visible AI-generation claim in the IPTC digital-source-type vocabulary.

This is the technical mechanism brands use to comply with:

• EU AI Act Article 50 (applicable 2 August 2026) — generative-AI marketing content must be marked in a machine-readable format using open, interoperable standards. C2PA is the emerging backbone. Penalty for non-compliance: up to €15 million or 3% global annual turnover.
• NY synthetic-performer disclosure law (effective June 2026) — $1K–$5K per violation, $10K repeat; applies to synthetic influencers and AI-generated endorsements.
• FTC May 2026 endorsement guidance — covers AI testimonials and synthetic creator content.
• Australia Online Safety Act / UK Online Safety Act — emerging deepfake disclosure requirements.

The resulting asset can be inspected by any C2PA-aware viewer (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Truepic, ).
