Google launched a public website on Tuesday that allows anyone to check if an image, video, or audio clip was created by artificial intelligence.
Google launched a public website on Tuesday that allows anyone to check if an image, video, or audio clip was created by artificial intelligence. The platform uses Google's SynthID technology, which embeds watermarks into content generated by models like Gemini, Nano Banana, Veo, and Lyria. The website supports a wide range of file formats, including multiple image, video, and audio types.
Google also integrated SynthID verification directly into the Gemini app and Google Chrome. Users currently submit one million content verification requests every day. Other technology companies, including OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, also support SynthID. Apple plans to add support soon, while Microsoft and Meta use separate verification standards.
However, these tools are not infallible and sometimes fail to identify content created by their own makers.
