Google's Magic Editor will watermark its AI-tweaked photos

<p>Spotting AI's work can be increasingly difficult as its capabilities and subtleties continue to improve. This continued shift makes labeling AI generated work all the more critical — something that is being done in bits and pieces. The latest development to do so comes from Google, which will now use SynthID technology to mark mages edited using <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://blog.google/feed/synthid-reimagine-magic-editor/">Reimagine in Magic Editor[/url].&nbsp;</p>
<p>Google DeepMind launched <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-wants-an-invisible-digital-watermark-to-bring-transparency-to-ai-art-164551794.html">SynthID[/url] in 2023, a technology that allows for imperceptible digital watermarks within any content created with generative AI. The company has previously used it in AI-powered programs such as Lyria, <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ai/gemini-will-soon-generate-ai-images-of-people-again-with-the-upgraded-imagen-3-161429310.html">Imagen[/url] and Gemini.&nbsp;</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>Now, SynthID will be making its literal mark on <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-photos-will-use-generative-ai-to-straight-up-change-your-images-171014939.html">Magic Editor[/url]. The tool allows users to reimagine their photos by moving, erasing or <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/google-photos-enhanced-editing-tools-will-no-longer-require-a-subscription-160015336.html">adding special effects[/url] to different aspects of the image. The Reimagine feature is available for anyone 18 or older and on the Pixel 9 or later. Users who click Reimagine can enter a prompt to change bits of the image. Google recommends entering specific, simple phrases, such as &quot;autumn leaves,&quot; and then explore potential options before picking one. The only difference is now that image will have a watermark from SynthID. It's available for anyone to see by clicking &quot;About this image.&quot;</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/ai/googles-magic-editor-will-watermark-its-ai-tweaked-photos-170009281.html?src=rss
