OpenAI is making it easier to check if an image was made by their models
OpenAI announced two new measures to help detect AI generated imagery: joining the open C2PA standard and adding Google's SynthID to its products.

TL;DR
- OpenAI is implementing measures to identify AI-generated images.
- The company is joining the C2PA open standard, which adds AI generation signals to image metadata.
- OpenAI is also integrating Google's SynthID, an invisible and more robust watermark.
- A public verification tool will be available to check for both C2PA and SynthID signals.
- These protections currently apply only to images generated by OpenAI products.
- The C2PA standard is managed by a non-profit coalition and adopted by some Google products, but industry adoption is inconsistent.
- SynthID is designed to persist through image manipulations.
- The two systems are intended to complement each other, enhancing the resilience of content provenance.
