Chief Authentication Officer

I randomly caught the tail end of an interview with the former Chief Authentication Officer for a company called TheRealReal, an Authenticator of luxury goods. Hit me that we can use a lot more CAO-types in the world. And, I’m sure our new reality can learn from TRR’s authentication process as we fumble through deciphering real content from AI generated content. (And, yes, I know there are many working on the challenge.)
