Google’s SynthID AI content detector expands globally, will work on Apple’s models ‘soon’

Google's AI content detector, SynthID, has been expanded globally and will now work with content generated by Apple's models in the near future. This tool assists in detecting AI-generated images and videos that can be challenging to distinguish from real content. SynthID achieves this by embedding invisible watermarks during the generation stage, which can be identified when the image is analyzed.

Currently limited to English, SynthID is expected to expand further in the future. Initially, SynthID worked exclusively with content developed using Google's AI models and initial partners. However, the upgraded version now supports content generated by Google's own Gemini, as well as content from additional partners, including OpenAI, Nvidia, Kakao, and soon, Apple.

This means that images created using models from these companies will carry SynthID's watermark, allowing users to verify whether the content is human-made or algorithmically generated.
