New AI Detection Capabilities
Pangram has expanded its AI detection offerings beyond text to include video and image content. The company, which previously developed a tool for AI-generated text, now provides subscribers with functionalities to identify AI-generated or AI-edited visual media.
Video Detection Features
The new video detection tool allows users to upload videos and receive an assessment of AI involvement. It can differentiate between partially and entirely AI-generated clips and includes a "heatmap" feature to highlight AI-likely sections. Pangram states its video model achieved over 98 percent accuracy in internal testing for flagging AI content.
Image Detection Rollout
Pangram's AI image detection, previously a research preview (Pangram Image 1.0), is now available through the company's Chrome extension. This extension automatically scans images encountered during browsing and flags those likely to be AI-generated. The image model reportedly detected over 99 percent of AI images with a 0.27 percent false positive rate in testing.
Development Challenges and Caveats
Developing the image detection model presented challenges, particularly with distinguishing AI-generated content from AI post-processing in real photos, such as those from modern smartphone cameras. Pangram CEO Max Spero noted that the model had to be robust enough to handle post-processing while identifying fully AI-generated visuals. The company also advises that results for images below 512 x 512 resolution may come with reduced confidence.
