“The Digital Dilemma”
refers to the decades-long quest to resolve the most fundamental worldwide problem of the digital-imaging era:
How do we decide
which visual images we can trust now that we can no
longer
tell anything by looking?

— or whether it is something as harmful as what looks like an urgent alert from your local bank but is actually a scam from a hacker on the other side of the world.”
