Google DeepMind launches SynthID, a tool that embeds invisible watermarks in AI-generated text, enhancing transparency and combating misinformation.

The company conducted a massive experiment on its watermarking tool SynthID’s usefulness by letting millions of Gemini users rank it.

SynthID can watermark AI-generated content across different modalities such as text, images, audio, and videos.

The move gives the entire AI industry an easy, seemingly robust way to silently mark content as artificially generated, which could be useful for detecting deepfakes and other damaging AI content before it goes out in the wild.

Google has finally open-sourced SynthID Text, which is its watermarking and detection tool for AI-generated text.
