AIgatha Christie

It seems like AI generated content is all over social media these days. Sometimes I see funny cats on Instagram and laugh and then I realize the cats aren't real. That's pretty sad.

AIgatha Christie offers a solution. With a pipeline that checks for digital watermarks and uses state of the art AI image detection, it identifies AI images that are too good for humans to pick up on. It also integrates human feedback, allowing communities to reach a consensus about what material is genuine. Packaged into a Chrome extension, it's easy to quickly verify your hunch about which suspects are AI and which are innocent.

Uses the Sightengine library as mentioned. A lot of the code was written by Claude Code.

Reflection

We chose this project because verifying the legitimacy of images online is increasingly difficult. It's frustrating not knowing whether the media you view is real or not. Although existing tools aren't perfect, having an easily-accessible pipeline like this is valuable because it can be expanded on as technology improves and best practices around content veracity evolve.
