Invisible Watermark
Invisible watermarking techniques embed imperceptible messages within digital content (images, audio, video, text generated by AI models) to verify authenticity, track ownership, and deter misuse. Current research focuses on developing robust watermarking methods resistant to sophisticated attacks, including those employing adaptive optimization and generative AI models, often utilizing deep neural networks (including autoencoders and diffusion models) for embedding and extraction. The field's significance lies in its potential to address growing concerns about copyright infringement, deepfakes, and the spread of misinformation in various digital media, particularly those generated by AI.
