Welcome to the Friday show where we talk about a couple of stories that have been in the Nature briefing, which is of course Nature's daily email roundup of the latest science news.
Here with me today is Lizzie Gibney.
Lizzie, how you doing?
So much my colon got a lot of action, I tell you what.
Right.
Well, you've got a story that couldn't be more different today to start off with, and it's about AI and AI-generated text.
Now we live in a world, of course, where this is becoming a lot more prevalent, certainly in academia as well.
Evidence suggests that it's getting used more and more.
And there's often a question that people have, like, Oh, is this just AI generated?
And it can be quite hard to tell, but there may be ways to do so, and that's what you've been looking at.
Right.
So an invisible watermark.
I'm gonna guess, given our discussions on AI in the past, this is gonna be statistics based.
Well, you've read my mind, we certainly will talk about that.
But let's talk about why this is being done.
So Anthropic and Clawed then, and you mentioned Google Two, there are reasons that they're introducing these things.
Okay.
So the difference then is that they can know if it's been made by a robot, but with the clawed version that you potentially y as a user could identify if something's AI correct?
And let's talk about, I guess, why this is important.
I think I said at the start there it's getting harder to know what is AI and what isn't in many cases, and I'm guessing that is ultimately the reason why.
