How to tell if a photo is AI-generated or real? There may be solution soon
Differentiating whether the picture you are seeing is AI-created or real has been a tough task since the past few months. In fact, chances are that many of us may have been fooled by AI-generated content in the last few months. However, it seems that the days of this deception may be numbered. For, a coalition of technology giants and startups have pledged to watermark content produced by AI.
Seven leading AI companies in the United States have agreed to voluntary safeguards on the technology’s development, pledging to manage the risks of the new tools. The seven companies — Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta, Microsoft and OpenAI — formally announced their commitment to new standards in the areas of safety, security and trust at a meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on July 21.
The announcement comes as the companies are racing to outdo each other with versions of AI that offer powerful new ways to create text, photos, music and video without human input. But the technological leaps have prompted fears about the spread of disinformation and dire warnings of a “risk of extinction” as self-aware computers evolve.

The companies have committed to developing robust technical mechanisms to ensure that users know when content is AI generated, such as a watermarking system. This action enables creativity with AI to flourish but reduces the dangers of fraud and deception.
These companies will also research the risks such as bias, discrimination and the invasion of privacy. Another key commitment is to invest in cybersecurity and insider threat safeguards to protect proprietary and unreleased model weights. These model weights are the most essential part of an AI system, and the companies agree that it is vital that the model weights be released only when intended and when security risks are considered.
