Google Releases Open-Source Watermarking Tool for AI-Generated Text. Here’s How It Works

Google has announced that its SynthID text watermarking technology is now available as an open-source tool through the Google Responsible Generative AI Toolkit for developers and businesses.

Integrated into its Gemini AI model, SynthID allows for the watermarking of AI-generated content in a manner that is "imperceptible to humans" but easily detectable by algorithms.

Originally announced in August of last year, SynthID embeds a unique pattern or code within the text created by AI, making it invisible to readers.

To verify if a piece of text was generated by AI, users can employ any specific tool designed to detect and reveal the hidden watermark.
