Transparency and Verification: Identifying AI Content

To maintain trust and transparency, Google is increasing efforts to identify AI-generated content:

• SynthID Watermark: All media generated by Google's tools is embedded with an imperceptible SynthID digital watermark for transparency.
  • Helpful Tip: You can now upload an image into the Gemini app and simply ask if it was generated by Google AI, thanks to this SynthID verification technology.
