About this role
With powerful new Generative AI models comes the ability to generate content that can be used to accidentally or intentionally mislead consumers. As one of the founding members of the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (c2pa.org), Microsoft has been leading the effort to provide technical mitigations to help users understand authenticity and source of generated digital content. Content produced by Microsoft’s generative AI models today is leveraging the C2PA specifications to help users understand that the content is created by generative AI but this is just the beginning. There is significant on-going work to help the Microsoft and the industry provide the necessary transparency when viewing online digital content. The Media Provenance team is hiring experienced engineers to join agile and diverse engineering teams focusing on Website and Service backend development to help deliver websites and services to enable Media Provenance at Microsoft.Responsibilities
