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.

OpenAI is making it easier to check if an image was made by their models

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.
