Google launched a website enabling public verification of AI-generated media, covering images, videos, and audio.
Initially restricted to select journalists and media professionals during testing at Google I/O last year, the company is now opening access to the general public.
The site supports a wide range of formats for verification, including JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, WEBP, AVIF, HEIC, HEIF, TIFF, TIF, and GIF for images; MP4, MOV, and WEBM for videos; and WAV, MP3, OGG, FLAC, AAC, and M4A for audio.
Google employs its SynthID technology, introduced in 2023, to detect AI-generated content. The company's generation tools, such as Nano Banana, Veo, Lyria, Gemini, Flow, ProducerAI, and Vids, all utilize SynthID to watermark their outputs.
The verification capability is also integrated into the Gemini app and Google Chrome, with the company noting that it currently processes one million content verification requests daily.
While Microsoft and Meta have implemented their own watermarking standards for content verification, these tools are not always reliable in identifying content created by their respective models. OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao also support SynthID, and OpenAI maintains its own verification portal, while Apple is reportedly preparing to add support soon.
