Wait until physical camera makers not only license you the unit, but also make everything you shoot belong to them, like software camera apps (e.g., Filmic Pro) do now.

DJI can just add some mandatory firmware upgrade process that offloads your footage to the mothership, and 99.9999% will agree to everything without reading.

Might be a realistic way for manufacturers to to implement a certified-taken-by-camera-not-AI photo feature.

it's called C2PA and it's coming to most picture-taking devices, eventually, although it doesn't require the data to be processed off-device.

Wouldn't be surprised if some will tout a "better and safer experience" if you use their cloud services...

What's old is new again.

Canon's high-end DSLRs used to have a module to sign the RAW files as they came off the sensor, for use in law enforcement and other sectors. This was back as far as 2011.
