Pangram expands its AI detection tools to video and images (www.engadget.com)

Pangram has launched expanded AI detection tools that now include capabilities for identifying AI-generated images and videos, building on its existing technology that tracks AI-generated text. Subscribers can upload videos to receive assessments on whether they are AI-assisted, with a feature that distinguishes between clips that are partially and entirely AI-generated. The tool boasts over 98 percent accuracy in detecting AI content, making it a significant advancement over existing detection methods. In addition to video detection, Pangram has enhanced its image detection capabilities with the release of Pangram Image 1.0, accessible through a Chrome extension that scans images while users browse online. This model successfully identifies over 99 percent of AI-generated images, although a caveat exists for lower resolution images, which may yield less reliable results. The development of these models required addressing challenges such as differentiating AI enhancements from genuine photo details, particularly from popular smartphone cameras. Pangram's expanded tools are now available for subscribers, while users with free accounts can still check a limited number of images.
