Microsoft has just announced watermarks to be included in all AI-generated content to help provide a clear distinction between machine-generated and human-generated content. This watermark will not only be used for Microsoft products, but also be made available to developers. Kevin Scott, Microsoft’s Chief Technology Officer, spoke about the ‘media provenance’ tools that would be offered to users so that they can distinguish between the two types of content. This will be implemented in the premium version of ChatGPT Plus from today, which has also been integrated with Bing search, allowing users to access up-to-date answers within the chatbot.
