We are a non-profit organization based out of Bellevue, Washington.
Safely using artificial intelligence(AI) has been a top priority at many non-profits and big companies such as Google and OpenAI. However, nearly all efforts in artificial intelligence has been focused on LLMs such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Facebook's LLAMA. We believe synthetic, computer generated image pose a more imminent threat to online safety as tools such as MidJouney, DALLE, and Stable Diffusion have been able to generated images difficult to distinguish from real images. These tools can be used to generate harmful images that can spread misinformation.
One approach to the problem is adding strict regulations through legislation. However image generation models do have tremendous potential as a tool. Overly strict legislation will harm the development of many useful tools using image generation. We believe the best approach to the dilemma is to arm everyone with knowledge and tools that can detect synthetic images.
