    Detection and Analysis of Artificially Generated Text, Images, Video, and Audio
    Steve Publications

    AI-generated content is everywhere, but how do you know what is real? The AI Forensics Handbook explores the science behind detecting synthetic text, images, video and audio, revealing the signals AI leaves behind and the methods used to uncover them. Practical, rigorous and grounded in real-world limitations, this is a guide to understanding what detection can really prove.

  8. Distilling Intelligence
    Distilling Intelligence
    Industrial-Scale AI Model Distillation and API Security
    Steve Publications

    AI models do not have to be huge, slow or expensive. Distilling Intelligence explores how to build smaller models that perform at scale, then secure the APIs that serve them. From compression and distributed serving to extraction attacks, observability and incident response, this book covers what it takes to run AI reliably in the real world.
