Google’s SynthID watermarking tool can help identify AI-generated images

Google launched the beta version of SynthID, a watermarking tool that can help identify AI-generated images in a bid to combat deep fakes. The combined model is optimised on a range of objectives, including correctly identifying watermarking content and improving imperceptibility by visually aligning watermarks with the original content, the post said. Google says that while the tool isn’t foolproof against extreme image manipulations, it provides a promising technical approach for the use of AI-generated content. The announcement comes a few weeks after OpenAI, Google and other top AI companies made a voluntary commitment to the White House to watermark AI content for safety.
