Google expands digital watermarks to AI-made video and text

As Google starts to make its latest video-generation tools available, the company says it has a plan to ensure transparency around the origins of its increasingly realistic AI-generated clips. All video made by the company's new Veo model in the VideoFX app will have digital watermarks thanks to Google's SynthID system. Furthermore, SynthID will be able to watermark AI-generated text that comes from Gemini. SynthID is Google's digital watermarking system that started rolling out to AI-generated images last year. The tech embeds imperceptible watermarks into AI-made content so that AI detection tools can recognize that the content was generated by AI.
