• Abstract summary: Diffusion models excel in creating images from text prompts, a task referred to as text-to-image (T2I) generation. Recent studies have studied the copyright behavior of diffusion models when using direct, copyrighted prompts. Our research extends this by examining subtler forms of infringement, where even indirect prompts can trigger copyright issues.

• Abstract: Diffusion models excel in many generative modeling tasks, notably in creating images from text prompts, a task referred to as text-to-image (T2I) generation. Despite the ability to generate high-quality images, these models often replicate elements from their training data, leading to increasing copyright concerns in real applications in recent years. In response to this raising concern about copyright infringement, recent studies have studied the copyright behavior of diffusion models when using direct, copyrighted prompts. Our research extends this by examining subtler forms of infringement, where even indirect prompts can trigger copyright issues. Specifically, we introduce a data generation pipeline to systematically produce data for studying copyright in diffusion models. Our pipeline enables us to investigate copyright infringement in a more practical setting, involving replicating visual features rather than entire works using seemingly irrelevant prompts for T2I generation. We generate data using our proposed pipeline to test various diffusion models, including the latest Stable Diffusion XL. Our findings reveal a widespread tendency that these models tend to produce copyright-infringing content, highlighting a significant challenge in this field.

  Current text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models can produce high-quality images. Malicious users who are authorized to use the model only for benign purposes might modify their models to generate images that result in harmful social impacts. We propose a novel prompt selection algorithm for efficient and accurate integrity verification of T2I diffusion models.

  SleeperMark is a novel framework designed to embed resilient watermarks into T2I diffusion models.

  We propose a method for detecting unauthorized data usage by planting the injected content into the protected dataset. Specifically, we modify the protected images by adding unique contents on these images using stealthy image warping functions. By analyzing whether the model has memorized the injected content, we can detect models that had illegally utilized the unauthorized data.
