Google upgrades its AI detection tool. How to use SynthID.
Google's SynthID Detector will help detect AI-generated media.
Google has upgraded its SynthID tool, introducing a new SynthID Detector. This enhancement expands the range of detectable media formats, now including images, videos, and audio files from various AI providers like OpenAI, NVIDIA, Kakao, and potentially Apple in the future. SynthID, a watermarking tool developed by Google, embeds an invisible identifier in AI-generated content.
This identifier allows SynthID to detect and inform users about AI-generated or manipulated media. Since its launch in 2023, SynthID has watermarked over 180 billion images, videos, and 240,000 years of audio content. To utilize the SynthID Detector, users can visit synthid.com, log in with their Google, Apple, or ChatGPT account, and upload the media file in question.
The tool then checks for the presence of the SynthID watermark and determines if the content is AI-generated. It is important to note that the SynthID Detector is not an AI detection tool; it specifically detects the watermark left by certain AI models in their generated media. If the uploaded content does not possess the SynthID watermark, the SynthID Detector will be unable to ascertain whether the media is AI-generated or not.
