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.

DeepMind isn't stopping at labeling only Google Gemini output. SynthID watermarking and detection have already been open-sourced and offered to developers of other AI models, to encourage its adaptation for use with today's many competing LLMs.

Researchers at Google DeepMind in London have devised a ‘watermark’ to invisibly label text that is generated by artificial intelligence (AI) — and deployed it to millions of chatbot users.

Google's DeepMind division has announced a watermarking tool focused on detecting AI-generated text with high accuracy.

Google’s SynthID text watermarking technology, a tool the company created to make AI-generated text easier to identify, is now available open-source through the Google Responsible Generative AI Toolkit,

Google DeepMind has been using its AI watermarking method on Gemini chatbot responses for months – and now it’s making the tool available to any AI developer

Google has open-sourced the SynthID text watermarking tool, a technology that enables users to detect whether text is original or AI-generated easily. According to Google, the AI-generated text detector can be downloaded from the AI platform Hugging Face and Google’s updated Responsible GenAI Toolkit.
