Press Release: PIJ Inc. — Progressive Intelligence Japan — Responds to the Surge in AI-Generated Videos with Its Patented "AI-VideoAuth™"

Today, PIJ Inc. — Progressive Intelligence Japan — announces the launch of its patented technology "AI-VideoAuth™" in response to the rapid increase of AI-generated videos.
<a href="https://videoauth.ai/">https://videoauth.ai/</a>

Use cases:
- Automatically ingest surveillance footage into the system, then prove authenticity at any time — demonstrating tamper-evidence for evidentiary video.
- Prove that a video was created by yourself — the timestamp at the moment of storage serves as proof.
- Issue authenticity proofs and certificates for video content in general.

English press release:
PIJ Inc. Launches "AI-VideoAuth," the World's First Deterministic, AI-Independent Video Authenticity Verification Platform*
*According to our research: a system combining cryptographic hashing + deterministic frame metadata + an independent chain structure fully separated from AI judgments.
________________________________________
Tokyo, Japan — PIJ Inc. (CEO: Hiroshi Nakagawa) today announced the official release of AI-VideoAuth, the world's first* video authenticity verification platform that guarantees long-term reproducibility without relying on AI model behavior.
________________________________________

A New Verification Architecture Free from AI Instability
Most "authenticity" solutions depend on AI or deepfake classifiers, whose outputs naturally change as models evolve.
AI-VideoAuth solves this by implementing a deterministic, cryptographic, AI-independent chain, consisting of:
- SHA-256 block hashing
- Deterministic frame-level metadata
- An independent chain structure isolated from AI inference

Technical Highlights
■ World's First Deterministic Frame-Chain Structure*
"If the same video is uploaded — even 10 years later — the result will always be identical."
This architecture ensures true reproducibility, unlike AI-based classifiers.

AI Analysis Provided Only as Optional Reference
AI-VideoAuth offers deepfake/edit detection AI, but:
- AI scores do not affect authenticity
- AI output is not stored in the chain
- AI exists only as supplementary information
________________________________________

Embeddable Authenticity Badge
When a video matches a registered chain, AI-VideoAuth issues an Authenticity Badge embeddable via HTML/JS.
