SynthID Detector: A New Tool for Identifying AI-Created Content

Advances in generative AI are enabling people to create content in entirely new ways — from text to high-quality audio, images, and videos. As these capabilities advance and become more widely accessible, questions of authenticity, context, and verification arise. Today, we are introducing SynthID Detector, a verification portal designed to quickly and efficiently identify AI-generated content produced with Google AI. This portal offers detection capabilities across various modalities in one location and promotes essential transparency within the rapidly evolving landscape of generative media. It can also highlight which parts of the content are more likely to have been watermarked with SynthID.
When we launched SynthID — a cutting-edge tool that embeds imperceptible watermarks to aid in the identification of AI-generated content — our goal was to offer a suite of innovative technical solutions to help minimize misinformation and misattribution. SynthID not only preserves the content’s quality but also functions as a robust watermark that remains detectable even when the content is shared or undergoes various transformations. Initially focused on AI-generated imagery, we have since expanded SynthID to encompass AI-generated text, audio, and video content produced by our Gemini, Imagen, Lyria, and Veo models. Over 10 billion pieces of content have already been watermarked with SynthID.
How SynthID Detector Works
When you upload an image, audio track, video, or piece of text created using Google’s AI tools, the portal will scan the media for a SynthID watermark. If a watermark is detected, the portal will highlight specific portions of the content that are most likely to bear the watermark. For audio, the portal pinpoints specific segments where a SynthID watermark is detected, and for images, it indicates areas where a watermark is most likely.
