  "account": "Technology giant Google has unveiled its SynthID Detector tool to the public. This tool embeds invisible watermarks into AI-generated content, enabling easier detection. Users can upload content to the SynthID Detector website, and it will use the SynthID watermark to determine if the material was generated by Google's Gemini or partners like OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple expected to join soon.
