OpenAI's new tool can detect AI content with 99.9% accuracy, but it won't release it
OpenAI has developed a tool to detect when someone uses ChatGPT to generate content with 99.9% accuracy but has no plans to release it to the public.
The Challenge of Detecting AI-Generated Content
The California company has long hinted that it was researching technology that can detect artificial intelligence (AI) content, but it has led its clients to believe that this technology was years away. However, according to insiders who spoke to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ), this tool has been available for months, but the company worries that it could make its products less appealing.
Detecting AI-generated content has become a significant challenge as adoption has soared. Legislators have formulated laws that require AI developers to include watermarks and other distinctive features in such content, but none has taken hold. This challenge is more prevalent in some fields, like the education system, where a recent study found that 60% of middle- and high-school students use AI to help with schoolwork.
Why OpenAI Delays the Release of its Detection Tool
According to OpenAI insiders, this challenge was solved over a year ago, but the company doesn’t plan on releasing the tool to the public. "It’s just a matter of pressing a button," said one of the sources.
OpenAI says the delay is necessary to protect the users as the tool presents “important risks.” The firm also claimed that if the technology is available to everyone, bad actors could decipher the technique and develop workarounds.
OpenAI has started rolling out the advanced voice mode to paying ChatGPT users; the feature was blasted for using Scarlett Johansson’s voice illegally. Apple is setting the bar high with its latest AI offering, with a beta version rolled out for selected developers while the EU may have to wait a little longer to experience this innovation. Offering users a more creative approach to express themselves online, Meta introduces AI Studio, with features that allow characters to mimic the voice and tone of their creators.
Competitors and Similar Tools in the Market
OpenAI rivals, led by Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL), have not fared any better. The search engine giant, whose Gemini LLM is one of the industry leaders, has developed a similar tool, dubbed SynthID, but it has yet to launch it publicly.
In order for artificial intelligence (AI) to work right within the law and thrive in the face of growing challenges, it needs to integrate an enterprise blockchain system that ensures data input quality and ownership—allowing it to keep data safe while also guaranteeing the immutability of data.
