Semi-fragile Watermarks for Generative AI Authenticity

Abstract: This thesis investigates how the implementation of semi-fragile watermarking affects the detection of AI-generated visual media. It evaluates the effectiveness of semi-fragile watermarks in the context of generative content authenticity and the robustness under backdoor attacks and data poisoning.
