AI-generated content can have watermarks, unique identifiers embedded in the content. These AI watermark help identify the creator, track distribution, and prevent unauthorized use.
An AI watermark can be created using a cryptographic hash function to generate an invisible fingerprint. Later, the watermark can be extracted to identify the creator or track distribution.
Physical watermarking is another approach, embedding unique identifiers in the content’s physical medium like pixels in an image or audio in a song.
AI watermarking protects content, prevents unauthorized use, and combats misinformation. Benefits include identifying the creator and tracking distribution to protect copyright.
Challenges arise from complexity and cost of watermarking. Detection and removal difficulty can allow unauthorized use. Sophisticated attackers may modify content to bypass the watermark.
Overall, AI watermarking shows promise but must address challenges before wide adoption.
