Google's SynthID AI watermarking tech is being adopted by OpenAI, Nvidia, and more

Key points

• In a few short years, we’ve gone from easily identifying AI content that featured superfluous fingers to images and videos that look shockingly realistic.
• How can we know what’s real in the age of AI?
• Google’s answer is SynthID, which it first demonstrated three years ago.
• The company says SynthID has since been used to label 100 billion images and videos, plus 60,000 years’ worth of audio.
• Those numbers are only going up now that SynthID is expanding beyond Google.
