Briefings

Google launched a global SynthID detector on October 7, 2026, allowing users to verify AI content without relying on Gemini. The new tool supports watermarks from all Google partners, expanding beyond Gemini's 180 billion images and 240,000 years of audio. Users can now check content on SynthID.com, though the system only flags Google's specific SynthID variant, potentially missing watermarks from other AI models like ChatGPT. Coverage is limited to the initial launch period and excludes pre-launch data.
