The feature, already in Gemini, lets users check if images, video, or audio are AI-generated. Google is also extending C2PA content credential support to Pixel video recording and offering a new AI content detection API on Google Cloud.","whyItMatters":"The expansion puts AI content verification directly into two of the most widely used web tools, making it easier for users to check provenance without leaving their browser or search results.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eGoogle announced a significant expansion of its SynthID digital watermarking verification system, bringing the feature to Google Search and the Chrome browser. Starting today, users can ask Search tools like Google Lens or Circle to Search whether an image was made with AI, and Chrome will gain the same capability through Gemini integration within weeks. The system detects content watermarked by Google's models or partner companies, and for other content it estimates likelihood based on generative AI characteristics. Google cautioned that the tool may flag non-AI images like blurry photos, so results should not be treated as definitive.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe company also added C2PA content credential verification to the Gemini app on May 19, with Search and Chrome support planned in the coming months. Pixel 8, 9, and 10 devices will gain C2PA support for video recording within weeks, following the Pixel 10's introduction of image credentials. A new AI content detection API is now available on Google Cloud for developers.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"SynthID verification now lives in Search and Chrome, but Google warns it may flag non-AI images as AI.
