PhotoGuard prevents misuse of your photos by altering pixels in an image in a way that makes it difficult for the AI to understand.

• The tool prevents misuse of your photos by altering pixels in an image in a way that makes it difficult for the AI to understand. Called "perturbations" they are invisible to the human eye but can still be read by AI, reported Engadget.
• While the techniques are effective, they aren't foolproof yet. A malicious actor could still reverse engineer the image by cropping, flipping or adding digital noise to it.
