"As we continue to take a responsible approach to generative AI, we’re adding new Content Credentials which uses cryptographic methods to add an invisible digital watermark to all AI-generated images in Bing – including time and date it was originally created. We will also bring support for Content Credentials to Paint and Microsoft Designer."

This is really interesting to me. I've heard discussions about doing this, but is this the first time we're actually seeing it implemented in image software?

How robust is this watermark? I assume resizing and cropping won't remove it, but perhaps getting an AI to redraw it or shrinking and AI upscaling would.
It has been around for a while.

Classic steganography usually doesn't survive resizing, and is easily scrambled. It can't be just that, or it would be a very weak solution.
Content credentials are also included in images touched by Adobe Firefly. Hopefully they are interoperable implementations and can read each others’ watermarks.
