Pangram, an AI detection startup based in New York, has announced it has raised $9 million in funding. The investment round was led by Menlo Ventures, with additional participation from Haystack, ScOp, Script Capital, and Cadenza.
The funding coincides with the launch of Pangram 4, the company's next-generation AI text detection model. Pangram states this new model is over 99% accurate in detecting AI-assisted writing and content that combines human and AI input. It is also designed to more easily identify AI humanizer programs.
Additionally, Pangram has released an AI image detection model, Pangram Image, which is currently available via research preview. The company plans a wider release for this image detection tool in the coming weeks.
Pangram's technology, which includes a web subscription and a Chrome extension, aims to distinguish human-generated content from AI-generated text. The Chrome extension can label posts in real time on platforms such as X, LinkedIn, Substack, Reddit, and Medium, and provides a feed health score.
Why this matters: The increasing use of AI in content creation has led to a demand for tools that can differentiate between human and AI-generated material, impacting areas from academic submissions to online information.
What this means for you: If you consume content online, tools like Pangram's could help identify whether text or images you encounter have been generated or assisted by AI, potentially influencing how you evaluate information.
