Carlos Sánchez, Head of Product in Real Madrid, and his “Compi de Side Projects“Guido Fioravantti, got to work after Carlos had to send a copy of his email documentation. In telephone conversation with Xataka, Carlos Sánchez explains that” you take any traditional water brand and pass it through some tools for some tools Specialized artificial intelligence, you’ll see that they take it off in seconds. What we wanted was to avoid that. “ After several tests and iterations, they found a “water mark that covers the entire document, which deceives the AI; makes it difficult to differentiate the water mark from the background image, so when you try to remove it, load it is loaded part of the document and is proof that it has been manipulated in some way. “ Copy of the original ID (above) and edited with Saferlayer (below) | Image: Saferlayer The water brand.

These color changes throughout the pattern also complicate it. In the end, we had to find the balance between whatever Very difficult to remove for AI, but also that it was readable, “he says. For Carlos, it was important that it was “evident to the person generated by the document and for whom he receives that there is a watermark that can be read, especially so that the person who receives it does not have incentives to use it for purposes Fraudulent “.

That allows the individual to protect their document add a water mark, but we also have the idea of ​​covering the other part , to the company that receives the document and wants to make sure whether it is legitimate or not. ” In Carlos’s words, “we would like to evolve this to verify that the documents that have Saferlayer water mark have been manipulated in some way, or if it is the water mark as it has been generated by the tool.” “Right now we are doing a water mark every nine seconds” In that sense, Carlos tells us that a hotel in the center of Madrid has contacted them because he was “very interested in exploring tools that facilitate these processes (in reference to the new lodging record) since it generates a brutal administrative burden and makes Check-in the process more uncomfortable for customers. “According to Carlos, the hotel wanted to talk to them to see if Saferlayer could” potentially help them. “ … Read more
