OpenAI Unveils New Tool to Identify AI-Generated Images, Highlights the Need for AI Content Authentication

OpenAI unveiled its new artificial intelligence (AI) image identification and detection tool on Tuesday. The AI firm announced the new tool highlighting the need to authenticate AI-generated content and to create awareness around it. The company has also formally joined the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) committee, which has created an open standard for labelling AI-generated content. Notably, OpenAI has been using this standard in its Dall-E-generated images since February 2024 and continues to add AI-related information in the images’ metadata.

In a blog post, OpenAI highlighted the new challenges that have emerged with the inception of AI-generated content. The company said, “As generated audiovisual content becomes more common, we believe it will be increasingly important for society as a whole to embrace new technology and standards that help people understand the tools used to create the content they find online.” Further, the ChatGPT-maker said it was taking two distinct measures to contribute to AI content authentication.

In its first step, OpenAI formally joined the C2PA committee and called it a widely used standard for digital content certification. The company also highlighted that the standard is followed by a wide range of software companies, camera manufacturers, and online platforms. Put simply, C2PA advocates the addition of information in the metadata of images and other file types to reveal how they were created. While an image taken by a camera will include the name and specifications of the camera, an AI-generated image will include the name of the AI model.

This type of authentication method is used as it is difficult to remove or alter the metadata from an image and it continues to stay even if the image is shared, cropped, or altered in any way or form.

Highlighting its second step, OpenAI said it was working on a new tool that can identify AI-generated images. Without naming the tool, the company called it “OpenAI’s image detection classifier”. The tool predicts the likelihood of an image being created by Dall-E. As per the post, the tool was able to correctly tag 98 percent of the Dall-E-generated images when compared to real images, despite using filters or cropping the image. However, the tool struggles when AI images of Dall-E are compared with other AI models. The AI firm said in those instances the tool makes mistakes in about 5-10 percent of the sample.

However, OpenAI has now opened the tool for limited public testing and invited research labs and research-oriented journalism nonprofits to register with the AI firm and get access to the tool.

6.1 Percent Indians Are Optimistic About Generative AI Tools: Survey

From ChatGPT to Dall-E and all the technologies in between, the new wave of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is transforming businesses at a rapid pace, and 60 percent of Indian executives are optimistic about its impact on workplace, as per a survey.

However, opinions vary by seniority and by country, according to the survey by Boston Consulting Group.

The survey is based on inputs from 12,800 employees from the executive suites to the frontline employees across industries in 18 countries.

As per the survey, Brazil (71 percent) is the most optimistic country about the impact of GenAI on workplace followed by India (60 percent) and the Middle East (58 percent).

The least optimistic are the US (46 percent), the Netherlands (44 percent) and Japan (40 percent).

Geographies most concerned about AI are the Netherlands (42 percent), France (41 percent), and Japan (38 percent), while the least concerned are the Middle East (25 percent), Brazil (19 percent), and India (14 percent), As much as 61 percent of the 1,000 respondents in India are optimistic about the tool while 72.8 percent of them believe the rewards of GenAI outweigh risks.

Also, close to 88 percent of respondents believe their job is likely to be transformed by AI and 80 percent feel AI-specific regulations are necessary.

GenAI is a rapidly evolving space, and its transformative impact is already being felt in workplaces around the world, says Nicolas De Bellefonds, the global leader of AI and software at BCG X, BCG’s tech build and design unit.

As per the survey, 52 percent of respondents are optimistic about AI’s impact on work, which was 35 percent in 2018.

According to Nipun Kalra, managing director & partner, and head of BCG X in India, among the 18 countries surveyed, Indian executives are the most optimistic about the transformative impact of AI.

The survey also showed that senior leaders are more frequent users of generative AI, and thus are more optimistic and less concerned about it than frontline employees. While 62 per cent of leaders are optimistic about AI, only 42 percent of frontline employees share that view.

Also, 62 percent of regular users of GenAI are optimistic about it, compared to 36 percent of non-users. A majority of leaders (80 percent) report that they use GenAI tools regularly, compared with just 20 percent of frontline employees.

Further, frontline employees made up the largest percentage of non-users (60 percent).

Globally, more than a third of the respondents (36 percent) think that their job is likely to be eliminated by AI and 86 percent believe they will need skilling.

Microsoft Edge Gets Bing’s Dall-E Image Creator, Drop Tool, and More: All Details

Microsoft has integrated an AI-powered image generator that uses DALL-E technology into its Bing chatbot recently. Now, the tech giant has widely rolled out the AI tool dubbed Bing Image Creator on desktops for Edge users. Arranged in the sidebar panel in the Edge browser, the new tool would allow users to create pictures based on their text prompts and the Image Creator will offer four different image options to choose from. Microsoft has also added other new features to Edge, including a Drop tool that lets users access all the content they want to share with themselves and a new efficiency mode that displays battery performance.

Microsoft, via a blog post on Thursday, announced the arrival of new features to its Edge browser. As mentioned, OpenAI’s DALL-E-powered AI image generator is now available on desktop for all Edge users. This feature will create pictures based on text prompts and can be accessed right from Microsoft Edge’s sidebar. Based on the prompt, the new Image Creator will offer four different image options to choose from. After selecting an image, users can download it and add it to their document or upload it to social media. First time users have to enable the Image Creator by clicking the ‘+‘ icon on the Edge sidebar. Microsoft Edge is claimed to be the first and only browser with an integrated AI image generator.

Additionally, Microsoft has added a new Drop feature in Edge. This allows users to share photos, notes, documents, and more between devices in one thread. This functionality is available on Edge on PC, Mac, iOS and Android. The Drop feature can be accessed from the sidebar or using drag-and-drop to add content.

Further, Microsoft Edge has received another feature that lets users edit and save Web images without using additional tools or apps. Users would be able to crop, adjust lighting and colour, and add filters to web images from the browser itself. The edited image can be saved for later use without leaving the browser window.

Furthermore, Microsoft has improved the Edge efficiency mode feature in the latest release to provide better battery life and more control over how the device consumes power. With the latest update, the laptop minimizes power usage when users are not interacting with the browser.
