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.
