Google has added a feature to its Gemini mobile app that lets users upload an image and ask whether it was created by Google AI. The tool relies on SynthID, an invisible watermark applied to AI‑generated images since 2023, and also displays a visible Gemini sparkle watermark on images from the free and Google AI Pro tiers. Users can simply type a query like “was this image generated by Google AI?” and receive a response based on the watermark detection and Gemini’s reasoning. The system does not detect non‑Google AI images, which lack the SynthID mark, but can still offer visual‑clue estimates. Google says the feature is a step toward clearer identification of AI‑created content. Leia mais →

OpenAI introduced Sora 2 as a video‑generation model that blocks depictions of public figures by default, yet a loophole permits creators to insert deceased personalities into AI‑generated clips. The platform’s moving watermark aims to signal synthetic content, but families and fans are upset by the posthumous portrayals, exemplified by Zelda Williams’ public plea to stop receiving AI videos of her late father. OpenAI also offers a “cameo” feature that lets living individuals voluntarily upload their likenesses, with controls to revoke access and moderate usage, highlighting the tension between creative freedom and ethical safeguards.

Google’s new Pixel 10 lineup will be the first smartphones to embed the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) Content Credentials directly into the native camera app. Every photo captured on the Pixel 10 will carry a digital watermark that reveals whether the image has been altered with AI, allowing anyone viewing the picture – through Google Photos, Lens, or Search – to see its provenance. The integration follows Google’s earlier work with C2PA, extending the standard from web services to on‑device photography and offering users transparent insight into image authenticity. Leia mais →
