Google opens expanded SynthID detector worldwide
Google made its SynthID Detector website broadly available in English, four technology outlets reported. The tool can flag content generated by systems from Google, OpenAI, Apple and other companies, according to the RSS reports. It had previously been available to selected media organisations and is now being offered to users worldwide.
Why it matters
A broadly available detector gives users another way to assess synthetic media as AI-generated content becomes harder to recognise.
