Google DeepMind is open-sourcing its tool for identifying AI-generated text, and detailed a real-world evaluation of it in a paper published on Wednesday. Why it matters: AI-generated text is fueling plagiarism,

DeepMind isn't stopping at labeling only Google Gemini output. SynthID watermarking and detection have already been open-sourced and offered to developers of other AI models, to encourage its adaptation for use with today's many competing LLMs.

SynthID is a technology from Google DeepMind that watermarks and identifies AI-generated content by embedding digital watermarks directly into AI-generated images, audio, text, or video.

Google's DeepMind division has announced a watermarking tool focused on detecting AI-generated text with high accuracy.

The move gives the entire AI industry an easy, seemingly robust way to silently mark content as artificially generated, which could be useful for detecting deepfakes and other damaging AI content before it goes out in the wild.

Google DeepMind launches SynthID, a tool that embeds invisible watermarks in AI-generated text, enhancing transparency and combating misinformation.
