CTOnews.com, August 30, in response to the growing problem of AI-generated images, the Google DeepMind team today launched a tool called SynthID, which can embed watermarks invisible to human eyes in AI-generated images, but can be detected with special artificial intelligence detection tools to make it easier to distinguish between real and false content. The tool is already available to some customers on Google's cloud platform.

The principle of SynthID is to embed a watermark in the pixels of the image, but it does not affect the quality and experience of the image itself. The watermark can resist common image editing operations such as cropping and zooming, and can only be recognized by special AI detection tools. Google DeepMind's CEO Demis Hassabis says the watermark will become more hidden and powerful as the AI model improves.

The SynthID tool will tell you how likely it is that the image is generated by artificial intelligence. Hassabis says SynthID was developed to solve potentially dangerous problems such as deep forgery (deepfake). He believes that in the context of the upcoming general elections in the United States and Britain in 2024, it is very important to establish an AI image recognition system. He also said that the basic ideas of SynthID can also be applied to other media such as video and text.

Currently, SynthID can only be used on Google's cloud platform, mainly for customers who use the Vertex AI platform and Imagen image generator. Hassabis hopes to make SynthID better through real-world testing. Then Google will use it in more places, share it with more partners, and raise public awareness and education.

CTOnews.com notes that in addition to Google, many other companies are also working on building AI protection and security systems. For example, companies such as Meta and OpenAI are using a protocol called C2PA to mark up AI-generated content using encrypted metadata. Hassabis said SynthID could become one of the Internet-wide standards. But he also stressed that this is only a preliminary attempt, not a panacea to solve the problem of deep counterfeiting. "it is too early to consider expansion and social discussion until we have proved that the technological base is effective," he said. "
