  • Patent number: 12556402
    Abstract: A method for detecting content generated by artificial intelligence is disclosed. In one embodiment, such a method includes monitoring interaction between a user and a generative AI model. The method intercepts a response returned from the generative AI model to the user and embeds, within the response prior to its return to the user, codes that are invisible to the user when viewing the response. In certain embodiments, these codes are embedded within the response in a particular invisible code insertion pattern to indicate that the response was generated by the generative AI model. The method returns the response to the user for viewing. A third party may utilize the embedded codes to determine whether the response was generated by the generative AI model. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 12452391
    Abstract: Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for processing participant input in a virtual meeting to determine effects to render in the virtual meeting. A natural language processor (NLP) processes a sentence to determine a structural representation of the sentence comprising a subject and object, which is processed to determine whether the object of the sentence comprises an object of recognition and the subject of the sentence is a participant in the virtual meeting. The structural representation of the sentence is processed to determine an attention level in response to determining that the structural representation of the sentence includes the object of recognition and the subject comprises a participant in the virtual meeting. In response to the attention level exceeding a threshold, a recognition attention effect is rendered in the virtual meeting associated with the attention level, observable by the participants of the virtual meeting.
