  "account": "AI detection startup Pangram has launched new tools to identify AI-generated images and videos, aimed at distinguishing authentic content from the surge of 'AI slop'. The New York-based company, which is known for its popular text detection tool, now allows users to upload videos for an assessment of AI involvement in creation or editing. The upgraded image detection tool is only accessible to paid subscribers, but free users can test it with a limited number of images. This expansion comes as generative AI expands into various forms of communication, with an estimated 50% of internet news articles and blogs being AI-generated. Pangram's image detection model, Pangram Image 1.0, boasts a 99% accuracy rate in identifying AI-generated images, with a negligible false positive rate of 0.27%. However, the tool may flag lower-resolution images with a reduced confidence disclaimer. The new video detection tool can differentiate between partially AI and fully AI-generated content, and it highlights specific aspects of the video that are likely AI-modified. Its underlying AI model performs exceptionally well in detecting frontier AI video content, accurately flagging AI-modified clips with over 98% accuracy in internal testing.",
