While scrolling through your YouTube feed, you might have come to a realization. It\u2019s almost impossible to figure out AI-generated content from humane content. And this problem isn\u2019t limited to YouTube, but has plagued content throughout the internet. With releases like Nano banana, ChatGPT and Qwen pushing the boundaries for what was possible before, it has become a hassle to find that human touch online.<\/p>\n

But like most problems of the modern age, Google has come in clutch for this one. With SynthID, they propose a system of watermarking AI generated content industry wide. This guide will acquaint you with the technology, determine how good it is, and how you can use it to detect AI-generated content yourself.<\/p>\n

What is SynthID?<\/h2>\n

SynthID detection is an Invisible Watermarking tool <\/em>that makes the content created or edited by Google\u2019s AI generation tools have an imperceptible digital watermark embedded in their content. Google\u2019s systems can read this watermark. It watermarks any AI-generated media created through Gemini<\/a> or any other generative tool in the Google ecosystem.<\/p>\n

This also highlights a problem: The tool works \u201cconfidently\u201d with the media generated from generative tools only within Google\u2019s ecosystem<\/em>. It means SynthID can\u2019t detect content from ChatGPT, Grok<\/a>, or other non-Google models as AI-generated with high confidence. And\u2026. Google is on its way to overcoming this by partnering with companies around the world to watermark their AI-generated content with SynthID. It\u2019s part of their goal to improve transparency and trust in AI-generated content, across the internet.<\/p>\n

SynthID works in the other way as well. It not only watermarks content but also detects media created by AI. This makes it the goto app for offering functionality similar to AI-detectors. <\/p>\n

Hands-On: How to detect AI-Generated Content?<\/h2>\n

Now that SynthID has been rolled out on Gemini, we can put it to test to see how well it performs in figuring out AI-generated content. I\u2019d be testing it on the following tasks to test how well it performs in discerning multimodal AI-generated content:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identifying AI-generated Text<\/li>\n
  2. Identifying AI-generated Video<\/li>\n
  3. Identifying an AI-generated image produced by Gemini<\/li>\n
  4. Identifying a non-AI image<\/li>\n
  5. Identifying a hybrid image that is part human and part AI-generated<\/li>\n
  6. Identifying an AI-generated image produced by ChatGPT<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These three will test SynthID\u2019s ability to recognize the images it should flag, and how it handles those it shouldn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

    Note: <\/strong>I\u2019d be using Gemini App and Google AI Studio for performing different tasks, as Gemini App is currently limited in its features. The Text<\/strong> and Video<\/strong> AI-detection was performed on Google AI Studio.<\/p>\n

    1. Identifying AI-generated Text<\/h3>\n

    For this task I\u2019d be using the content from one of my previous articles: Why China is winning the AI race?<\/a><\/p>\n
