Google SynthID Detector public launch

Google DeepMind has made SynthID Detector publicly available at SynthID.com, where anyone can check whether images, videos, or audio were generated by AI. The detector covers content from Google AI as well as industry partners including OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple support described as coming soon. SynthID watermarks are invisible signals encoded in image and video pixels and audio waveforms. According to Ars Technica, Gemini alone has integrated SynthID across over 180 billion images and videos and 240,000 years of audio. Previously, non-Google users could only check for SynthID watermarks by querying Gemini directly, and the detector had been limited to trusted testers; the new public site removes both restrictions and extends coverage to all of Google's SynthID partners, including ChatGPT images. Google DeepMind also covers SynthID Bio, which extends watermarking concepts to biological designs.
