People are using OpenAI’s tools everyday to create and edit images and audio in ways that make communication more expressive, useful, and accessible. As these tools become a part of how people build, imagine, and share, it’s important that people can understand and verify where the media comes from so they can interpret it with more confidence. Provenance signals can help by giving people context about where content came from, how it was created or edited, and whether it is what it claims to be.
Today we’re strengthening our approach to content provenance with a multi-layered, ecosystem-driven model to building trust online. We are making our provenance signals easier for other tools and platforms to recognize through C2PA conformance, adding durable cross-platform SynthID watermarking to images through a partnership with Google, and sharing a preview of a tool the public can use to verify whether images came from OpenAI.
