Google on Thursday announced that they’re expanding its SynthID Detector into a public platform, after an early version of the SynthID Detector was introduced last year to help media professionals verify AI-generated content, RaveNewsOnline reports.
The company has now expanded access to the tool globally, initially in English.
According to Google, users can check whether an image, video or audio file was generated with AI by Google or participating partners, including OpenAI, NVIDIA and Kakao, with Apple expected to join the initiative soon.
To date, we’ve watermarked over 180 billion images and videos, along with 240,000 years of audio content.
Last year, we introduced an early version of the SynthID Detector to help media professionals verify AI-generated content. Now, we’re expanding access to everyone – with the tool available globally in English starting today.
With the new SynthID Detector, anyone can easily check if an image, video, or audio file was made with AI from Google or our partners, including OpenAI, NVIDIA, Kakao, and soon, Apple.
This tool joins our built-in verification features in Search, the Gemini app, and Chrome, which now regularly handle over 1 million requests daily. It’s all part of our ongoing work to give you more context about the media you see online, so you can navigate the web with confidence.
