Google Unveils SynthID Detector for AI Content Verification
Google has created a tool called SynthID Detector to help spot if a picture, sound, video, or writing was made by a computer.
This tool looks for a special secret mark, called a watermark, hidden inside content made by Google's AI.
The tool helps people know if content is real or made by a computer.
You can upload your content, and the tool tells you if it finds the secret mark.
It helps make sure we can trust what we see and hear online.
Right now, Google is letting a few people try it out before everyone can use it.
Google launched SynthID Detector to identify AI-generated content.
The tool was announced at the Google I/O 2025 developer conference.
It scans for SynthID watermarks in content created with Google AI tools.
The portal offers detection capabilities across different media types.
The detector is rolling out to early testers, with wider access expected soon.
