AI Safety Hackathon - Meta x Entrepreneur First
This was a 36 hours hackathon on AI Safety organized by Meta AI and Entrepreneur First. Out of a pool of 500 candidates, a preselection process narrowed the numbers of participants to 40. Our team composed of 5 members developed a bleeding edge watermarking solution for images generated by AI models. Owners of proprietary generative AI models lack the ability to profit from market segmentation: free or ‘personal’ users can easily sidestep their Term of Services while flying under the radar. We created an invisible watermarking solution resistant to attacks, embedded in the very structure of the image, not in easily-removed pixel-level data. We emerged victorious in the hackathon, earning the unanimous approval of the quite impressive jury. Seal it, don’t steal it!
