Glaze Core Features
The Glaze Project is a research effort that develops technical tools to protect human creatives against invasive uses of generative artificial intelligence or GenAI. Learn more about Glaze and its mission.
Core Features of Glaze
Protecting Artists from Generative AI
Glaze is a tool that uses a watermark to help protect artists from their work being used without permission by generative AI models.
How Glaze Works
Glaze's technology adds a near-invisible watermark to images. The watermark is not visible to the human eye, but it can be detected by algorithms. This means that if an artist's work is used to train a generative AI model, Glaze's watermark can be used to identify the artist and prevent their work from being used without permission.
Who is behind Glaze?
Glaze was developed by researchers at the University of Chicago, led by Mayumi Nakamura Birt.
Future of Glaze
Glaze is still under development, but the team is working to make it more robust and widely available. The team is also exploring ways to use Glaze to protect other types of creative work, such as music and text.
