Google has created a new tool called SynthID to aid in the identification of photographs and artworks that were created using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms as these synthetic images become more realistic.
This technology is a step towards identifying AI-generated information, even though it is initially only accessible to a small number of Google Cloud customers.
AI-generated photographs are given invisible digital watermarks via SynthID, which enables them to be recognized even after being cropped or having their colors altered. Google is experimenting with SynthID with a few Google Cloud users using Imagen, a new text-to-image model.
SynthID: How It Functions?
SynthID’s digital watermark is integrated into the pixel data, as opposed to the visible watermarks that are frequently employed nowadays.
In order to add the undetectable watermarks and recognize them, the program uses two AI models that were jointly trained. In order to maintain visual quality while facilitating detection. Google optimized these models to incorporate watermarks that correspond with the actual image content.
SynthID successfully recognized AI-generated photos in internal tests even after extensive modification. To show the chance that an image contains the SynthID watermark, it offers three confidence levels.
While SynthID offers a technical strategy for using AI-generated content ethically. Google does not guarantee absolute protection against extreme image modifications.
It is anticipated that the tool will develop along with other AI models. Expanding its powers beyond image identification to include audio, video, and text.
