Details
Google is expanding access to its SynthID Detector, making the tool available globally in English starting today. Previously limited to media professionals, the detector now allows anyone to check if images, videos, or audio files were generated by AI.
The tool identifies content created by Google and partners including OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple support coming soon. This expansion builds on Google's SynthID watermarking technology, which has already watermarked over 180 billion images and videos and 240,000 years of audio content since its 2023 launch.
The SynthID Detector joins existing verification features in Search, the Gemini app, and Chrome, which currently handle over 1 million requests daily. The goal is to provide users with clear context about online media to help them make informed decisions about trust.
