Samsung AI Tool Removes Watermarks Meant to Flag Fake Images
-
Samsung's new Galaxy S24 phone has an AI feature that can remove watermarks meant to indicate if an image is AI-generated. This oversight undermines efforts to curb fake images.
-
Samsung advertised that images edited with its new "Generative Edit" AI tools will contain a watermark, but Gizmodo found the phone's AI erase tool removes this watermark.
-
Some AI-modified images had the watermark, some did not - indicating inconsistent watermarking.
-
Companies like Adobe promote watermarks to deal with rise of AI deepfakes, but they can be easily edited out.
-
Google's DeepMind claims it has a more permanent watermarking technique, but it only works on images modified by Google tools.
