SynthID is a Google watermarking technology that embeds digital markers into AI-generated images, videos, and audio to help users identify synthetic content and verify its origins. The system has watermarked over 100 billion pieces of content and its verification tool has been used tens of millions of times across Google products including Gemini, Search, and Chrome. Google has expanded SynthID's integration across multiple platforms and is partnering with other organizations to establish it as a standard for content provenance in the AI ecosystem.
