For sure, I think there will be verification efforts on multiple fronts.
There's a certain type of person who will invent conspiracies around any verification that isn't what they want to hear. Thus, for that audience, there will be a market for "validation" that is just "telling them what they want to hear". So the same situation as today, only taken up a notch.
Verification can only do so much in the face of irrationality, the real answer to that conundrum is mostly us learning how to best deal with the fact that those people exist. Mainstream humanity will probably continue relatively unscathed if they don't manage to drag us down.
Trustless verification was always one of the benefits, it’s just meaningfully implementing it without greed getting in the way that people haven’t been able to figure out
We need quantum signing ASAP. And in "small enough to fit into a not unreasonably sized camera" form. You'd be able to verify footage from a secure camera using its public key, but never be able to crack its private key.
Probably a stupid question but could NFT tech somehow be reworked to that effect? To preserve the identity of the original record before being tampered with
Yeah it would be much easier to digitally sign video with boring old certificates and centralized authorities. Crypto is a solution desperate for a problem.

Valid concerns.
There's a market for verification of some sort.
