Founder & CEO
OpenOrigins
Manny is the Founder of OpenOrigins, a technology company dedicated to preventing disinformation caused by generative AI. He is also a researcher at University of Cambridge where is a founding member of the Centre for Re-Decentralisation (CRDC).
Manny has a background in computer security and distributed computing, and has invented several consensus algorithms, anonymity systems and hardware security systems. He is also the inventor of CoverDrop, an anonymous whistleblowing system deployed by leading news organisations.
At OpenOrigins is an open system that allows any organisation to prove the origins of their photos and videos. This is increasingly important as AI generated and edited content floods the Internet blurring the lines between what's real and what's not. Content secured by OpenOrigins is provably real, human-originated and traceable. This not only allows audiences to trust the content but also allows for easy licensing of content to other publishers and AI companies.
