Google has introduced a new feature in the Gemini app that helps users quickly determine the authenticity of AI-generated or edited photos. With the help of SynthID technology, this feature currently verifies only images created using Google's AI tools; in the future, videos and other sources will also be included.
How to Recognize AI Photos: Google has launched a new feature in the Gemini app that will help verify the authenticity of AI-generated and edited photos rapidly spreading on social media. Users simply need to upload a photo to the Gemini app and write a prompt, and SynthID technology will immediately verify the photo's authenticity. Currently, this feature is available only for images created with Google's AI tools. Google plans to extend it to video, audio, and other AI sources soon.
How the New Feature Works
Using this feature is very simple. The user needs to upload a photo to the Gemini app and ask in the text box, "Is this picture AI-generated?" The app will then analyze the image using SynthID technology and provide an immediate report.
Google states that this feature will soon be available for video and audio content as well. Furthermore, beyond the Gemini app, there are plans to integrate it into Google Search services, allowing users who haven't installed the app to also benefit from it.
SynthID Technology and Future Prospects
The SynthID technology used in the Gemini app identifies invisible watermarks in photos to verify their authenticity. This system can track images created using Google's AI tools.
In the future, there are plans to extend this feature to images and videos created by other AI tools, such as ChatGPT. This will further help users verify the credibility of digital content.
