Google says 180 billion images and videos now carry SynthID watermarks as detector goes public

Google opened its SynthID Detector publicly and says over 180 billion images and videos carry its watermarks.

Google has opened the SynthID Detector so anyone can check whether an image, video, or audio file carries a SynthID watermark from Google or its partners. The tool supports JPG, PNG, MP4, and MP3 and recognizes marks from models including Gemini, Veo, and Lyria, but it does not identify unmarked AI content. Google says more than 180 billion images and videos are watermarked, and detection in Search, the Gemini app, and Chrome draws about one million verification requests a day. OpenAI, Nvidia, and Kakao also use SynthID for media, and Google expects Apple to join.

Google’s new SynthID website can identify AI-generated media

Google opened a public SynthID site that checks whether images, video, or audio were AI-generated.

Google opened a public website that uses SynthID to check whether an image, video, or audio clip was generated by AI. The checker, previously limited to journalists, media professionals, and researchers, accepts common formats including JPG, PNG, MP4, MOV, WAV, and MP3. Google says Nano Banana, Veo, Lyria, Gemini, Flow, ProducerAI, and Vids watermark output with SynthID, and that people already make about one million verification requests a day. OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao also support SynthID, while Microsoft and Meta use their own watermarking approaches, and Google notes the tools can miss content from their own models.

Google Research Introduces an AI Video Co-Director: 4 Agentic Frameworks for Coherent, Minutes-Long Video Generation

Google Research unveiled four agentic frameworks that generate coherent minutes-long video on Gemini and Veo.

Google Research introduced an AI video co-director of four agentic frameworks—Co-Director, CANVAS, A²RD, and VQQA—that orchestrate Gemini and Veo to turn short clips into coherent multi-shot videos lasting up to 10 minutes. The layer targets identity drift and cascading errors with bandit-based planning, persistent visual memory, training-free autoregressive diffusion, and closed-loop prompt refinement, and outputs inherit SynthID watermarking. Co-Director scored 81.4 on GenAD-Bench; CANVAS gained 21.6% background continuity; A²RD improved consistency by up to 30% on 1–10 minute videos. Co-Director and A²RD code is public; CANVAS is forthcoming and the stack is not a Google product.
