Google Opens SynthID Detector to Public for All Partners' AI Content
The gist
The tool makes AI watermark detection available to any user globally, not just those with access to Gemini or trusted-tester programs. It covers content from multiple major AI providers, extending its practical reach beyond Google's own models.
The full picture
Google has launched SynthID.com, a public website where anyone can check whether online content carries invisible AI watermarks. The tool detects SynthID watermarks from Google and its industry partners, including OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao, with Apple support listed as coming soon. Previously, checking for SynthID watermarks required querying Gemini directly, and the detector was restricted to trusted testers. Google says Gemini has integrated SynthID across over 180 billion images and videos and 240,000 years of audio.
