Google Launches SynthID Detector Website to Identify AI-Generated Content
Google has launched its SynthID Detector website globally, allowing users to check images, videos, and audio files for invisible digital watermarks embedded by AI tools from Google, OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple support expected soon. The tool helps identify AI-generated or AI-edited content by detecting these watermarks, promoting transparency. While free to use, it requires login and may not detect AI content without SynthID watermarks or distinguish fully AI-created from AI-edited media. The detector complements verification features in Google products like Search and Chrome.
