AI generated Images contains C2PA Manifest
Hi All,
In a recent Blog Article i wrote about the new MAIL Models from Microsoft.
I’e created an AI Image for the 1st August - the swiss national day.
I’ve used that in a Instagram Post. I noticed the “AI info” button
It shows that the Image was AI generated. That info had to be somewhere in that file.
So i’ve had a look into the file with notepad++ and noticed “c2pa” and several lines that looked like Certificates.
Found a Website where you can Verify Content Credentials & Inspect C2PA Manifests. I’ve upldoaded my AI generated image. You can see all the details
Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA)
The Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity, or C2PA, provides an open technical standard for publishers, creators and consumers to establish the origin and edits of digital content. It’s called Content Credentials, and it ensures content complies with standards as the digital ecosystem evolves.
If you are interested in the details you can read the specification
Summary
I like that AI Image generators include information that the Image has been generated with AI.
I use Paint.Net and it does not support C2PA. When you open a File in Paint.Net and save it, the C2PA Information is removed. So it’s still quite easy to remove the C2PA information.
