On Pixels and iPhones it would be impossible since they have actually secure hardware that could both hold the keys and sign/verify the image.

The camera module sits outside the secure area, meaning it would need to send data in to be signed. How does the phone know that it's getting legitimate data from the camera module, or data someone else is just piping in? Also, you could probably get a fairly high quality image by just taking a photo of something AI generated in the right lighting conditions.
