Supporting Europe’s work in ensuring a trustworthy AI ecosystem
Summary
OpenAI is supporting the European Commission's Code of Practice on Transparency of AI-Generated Content to help people understand where online content comes from and whether it was created or edited by AI. The company is implementing provenance standards (technical methods for tracking content origin and history) by adding C2PA metadata (embedded information that travels with images to show their source and creation details) to its DALL-E 3 image tool, combining this with SynthID watermarks (invisible digital markers), and offering a public verification tool at openai.com/verify so people can check if images contain provenance signals.
Solution / Mitigation
OpenAI's approach includes: (1) adding C2PA Content Credentials metadata to images created and edited by DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT and the OpenAI API; (2) including both C2PA metadata and SynthID watermarks on images generated with ChatGPT, Codex, and the OpenAI API; (3) providing openai.com/verify, a public verification experience where people can check whether supported images contain provenance signals associated with OpenAI-generated images; and (4) contributing to open standards through joining the C2PA Steering Committee to advance interoperable provenance standards across the ecosystem.
