This is one use case I can see for immutable and distributed public ledgers aka blockchains.
By having a publicly associated wallet which can sign the release/link/buffer of an audio file one would be able to assure legitimacy of the output and the rest of the world can carry on without worrying they are being bamboozled by a deepfake.
However, blockchains have been going so deep down the path of cryptocurrencies and get rich quick schemes that their real use cases are being ignored for random tokens.
The blockchain I envision being used for this purpose I stated above would have no token, it would just be… a blockchain.
I guess you could have the ‘mining/POW’ part take place during the signing of the data and would be done by the signee.
To be honest the main benefit I can see is that the entire DB would be publicly distributed among a large number of independent users which would make the data a lot harder to falsify/hack/corrupt.
However, any system which can achieve the same goal is perfectly valid. This was just my initial thought — probably from my large exposure to blockchains etc
