OpenAI is launching a tool that can detect images created by text-to-image generator DALL-E 3, the Microsoft-backed startup said Tuesday amid growing concerns about the influence of AI-generated content in the global elections. this year.

The company says that in internal testing, the tool correctly identified images created by DALL-E 3 approximately 98 percent of the time and can handle common changes such as compression, cropping and saturation changes with minimal impact.
