Investigating the Effectiveness of Artificial Intelligence in Watermarking and Steganography for Digital Media Security

Watermarking and Steganography are methods of embedding digital information within images or other media, such as text or audio, for the purpose of Copyright Protection or covert communication. This field of study is not recent and has been ongoing for several years, culminating in its current advanced stage. The utilization of Artificial Intelligence algorithms has played a pivotal role in revolutionizing various aspects, including security concerns and the precision of outcomes, as compared to traditional methods. This paper focuses on doing an in-depth analysis of cutting-edge research, techniques, and methodologies employed in the domain of Watermarking and Steganography, specifically in conjunction with Artificial Intelligence. By thoroughly examining and evaluating a collection of recent studies in this domain, we have scrutinized the outcomes of each study with respect to its research goal, the acquired results, the employed algorithm, and the research's robustness in terms of susceptibility to various forms of attacks and the technique of data embedding. Our findings indicate that the use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms has a substantial influence on enhancing result precision, system resilience, and establishing data ownership. Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are essential in Watermarking and Steganography due to their robustness, effectiveness, and accuracy. Novel methodologies and systems improve security, incorporation rates, precision of detection, and speed of convergence. Deep learning is being investigated in techniques such as data concealment, information hiding, and steganography to improve security.
