Google announced an expansion of its content transparency features today, enabling users to verify whether video content was created or modified using the company’s AI tools directly within the Gemini app.
The system utilizes SynthID, a proprietary digital watermarking technology, to analyze uploaded files for signs of artificial generation across both audio and visual tracks.
This capability is now available in all languages and regions currently supported by the platform.
To access the verification tool, users must upload a video file, subject to a 100 MB size limit and a 90-second duration cap, and explicitly query the chatbot regarding the content’s origin.
The system scans for the watermark and returns a detailed breakdown, specifying which components of the media are synthetic.
For instance, the tool can isolate specific timestamps to indicate that AI generated audio while the visual components remain unaltered.
This update integrates video verification alongside existing image detection capabilities, broadening the scope of Google’s provenance tools.
By embedding detection directly into the consumer-facing app, Google aims to provide immediate context for media files as the volume of synthetic content increases.
The feature relies specifically on detecting Google’s own watermarking standards and does not purport to detect AI content generated by non-Google models that lack SynthID embedding.
Key Takeaways:
- Gemini users can now upload short videos to check for Google’s SynthID watermark in both audio and visual tracks.
- The system provides segmented analysis, identifying specific timestamps where AI-generated content is detected.
- Verification supports files up to 100 MB and 90 seconds in length and is available globally.
