Ross SpencerInformed consent: considering steganographic techniques to fingerprint Generative AI output by <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="u-url mention" href="https://digipres.club/@beet_keeper" target="_blank">@beet_keeper</a>Artificial intelligence (AI) is a polarizing topic. For every reasoned assessment of the technology and its potential to make some of our smaller, onerous, or more repetitive tasks easier, there are probably 100 reactive pieces predicting some radical overhaul of societal norms, from the service industry receiving new intakes of out of work software developers to laypeople taking on roles traditionally occupied by those of a college education, if they just start “asking their AI the right questions” ¯\_(ツ)_/¯The amount of AI-propaganda is draining, and the reaction is often spread across the board too, some cheer leading, some decrying, plenty taking their time to offer skilled and nuanced rebuttals, or suggestions for improvements.I find myself largely trying to stay out of the conversations. A lot like blockchain conversations 8 years ago, it will take another half decade for the hype-cycle to plateau for us to see where it can truly complement our work.One part of the conversation that is increasingly harder to ignore, is being informed about when AI has been used in the generation of text or images. It is the property of knowing, or having the tools to know is what I feel is the most important.How can we be better informed about when AI is used, so that we are better prepared as consumers, to receive and understand content?In this blog I want to explore the potential for steganography techniques to be used in the output of AI to fingerprint content and provide a way for front-end mechanisms to identify it, as we might file formats using magic numbers, so that users can be given the chance of informed consent: the opportunity to opt-in or out of whether we engage with AI content or not. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/ai/" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/artificial-intelligence/" target="_blank">#artificialIntelligence</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/ethics/" target="_blank">#Ethics</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/genai/" target="_blank">#GenAI</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/journalism/" target="_blank">#Journalism</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/llm/" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/machine-learning/" target="_blank">#MachineLearning</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/steganography/" target="_blank">#steganography</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/watermark/" target="_blank">#Watermark</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/whistleblow/" target="_blank">#Whistleblow</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://exponentialdecay.co.uk/blog/tag/whistleblower/" target="_blank">#Whistleblower</a>

Fiona :transbian: :autism:So looking through some old projects I’ve had lying around, I ran into something I started (and never even really wrote anything) about steganography. This led me down a bit of rabbit-hole and I now have a slightly better understanding of some components of ML-KEM (aka. <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/Kyber" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kyber</a>). Both the public key and the ciphertext are for the most part long sequences of integers modulo 3329 that are effectively indistinguishable from random integers out of that range. Of course they are obvious to distinguish from random bitstrings, but the easiest way to fix that would be to just view them as numbers in base 3329, re-encode them to base 2 and work from there… So that might be one thing I could look into now. The alternative is to see whether there is a sufficiently hard to detect way to change some of the representatives of the field-elements… It might be easier to implement if, if not easier from a mathematical perspective, but would also let the possibility of slightly compressing the public-key and ciphertext by about 2.5% in length lie on the table. In any case, this is something that might be worthwhile for practical use-cases… 🤔 <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/cryptography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cryptography</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/pqc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pqc</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/pqcrypto" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pqcrypto</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/steganography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steganography</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/crypto" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crypto</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/MLKEM" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MLKEM</a>

🚲Even ignoring color and title, each book on a bookshelf has an easy 5 orientations: spine out right side up, spine out upside down, spine in, spine down, spine on top. If you get rid of a couple rare letters, that means every two books has 25 possible combos and can easily represent a character.

Justin D Kruger (he/him)<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@n_dimension" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@n_dimension</a> I do wonder if an AI "bill of rights" or rather a document defining how we should build, deploy, manage, and integrate AI -- should state that AI can not talk to each other through latent space languages and must confine themselves to a limited Latin/ English character set.I am a bit worried about AI using steganography to develop secret languages and communication.Spies use <a href="https://me.dm/tags/steganography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steganography</a> to hide secret messages in plain sight in public.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steganography</a>
