Watermark-based Detection and Attribution of AI-Generated Content
Several companies--such as Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI--have deployed techniques to
watermark AI-generated content to enable proactive detection. However, existing literature
mainly focuses on user-agnostic detection. Attribution aims to further trace back the user of a
generative-AI service who generated a given content detected as AI-generated. Despite its
growing importance, attribution is largely unexplored. In this work, we aim to bridge this gap
by providing the first systematic study on watermark-based, user-aware detection and …

Several companies--such as Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI--have deployed techniques to watermark AI-generated content to enable proactive detection. However, existing literature mainly focuses on user-agnostic detection. Attribution aims to further trace back the user of a generative-AI service who generated a given content detected as AI-generated. Despite its growing importance, attribution is largely unexplored. In this work, we aim to bridge this gap by providing the first systematic study on watermark-based, user-aware detection and attribution of AI-generated content. Specifically, we theoretically study the detection and attribution performance via rigorous probabilistic analysis. Moreover, we develop an efficient algorithm to select watermarks for the users to enhance attribution performance. Both our theoretical and empirical results show that watermark-based detection and attribution inherit the accuracy and (non-)robustness properties of the watermarking method.
