| contents | The rapid advancement of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has revolutionized content creation across text, visual, and audio domains, simultaneously introducing significant risks such as misinformation, identity fraud, and content manipulation. This paper presents a practical survey of watermarking techniques designed to proactively detect GenAI content. We develop a structured taxonomy categorizing watermarking methods for text, visual, and audio modalities and critically evaluate existing approaches based on their effectiveness, robustness, and practicality. Additionally, we identify key challenges, including resistance to adversarial attacks, lack of standardization across different content types, and ethical considerations related to privacy and content ownership. Finally, we discuss potential future research directions aimed at enhancing watermarking strategies to ensure content authenticity and trustworthiness. This survey serves as a foundational resource for researchers and practitioners seeking to understand and advance watermarking techniques for AI-generated content detection. |
