Pangram, an AI detection company, has developed a new tool to identify AI-generated content, including videos and images. The company has released two models, Pangram Image 1.0 and Pangram Image Flash 1.0, which are designed to detect edits, compression, and other signs of artificial intelligence generation.
What happened
The flagship model, Pangram Image 1.0, boasts an accuracy rate of 99.96% in detecting AI-generated content, while the smaller model offers frame-by-frame analysis at a slightly lower accuracy rate. According to Max Spero, the CEO and co-founder of Pangram, the company has taken extra time to ensure that its model is "state of the art" and won't become obsolete soon.
The need for AI detection tools has become increasingly important as AI-generated videos, also known as "AI slop," have become more sophisticated and widespread. Examples of AI-generated content include "AI influencers" with thousands of followers, "AI comedians" stealing jokes from real comedians, and AI-generated war footage that can distort public perceptions of conflicts.
The company's efforts to improve AI detection are ongoing, with Spero noting that the room for error is constantly shrinking, demanding constant improvement to the models. The difference between 98% and 99.9% accuracy is significant in this space, and Pangram is working to stay ahead of the curve in detecting AI-generated content.
