Runway's Real-Time AI Video Is a Deepfake Warning Sign

Runway's latest demo — real-time HD video generation — is less a tool for working photographers and more a signal of where the industry is heading, and not comfortably. The practical concern here isn't about creative workflows; it's about image credibility, as real-time fabrication makes visual verification exponentially harder for editorial and documentary photographers whose work depends on authenticity. This sits in the same conversation as Adobe's Content Credentials push, and underscores why provenance tools are becoming non-negotiable. Worth monitoring if you shoot for press or legal contexts — this is the threat model getting more real.
