If you use social media, you will know that they have been uploaded videos created by artificial intelligence. And more than one of us can get this type of content as they become more and more realistic. good Google, and especially Gemini, will be your best ally in finding out if a video is real or created by AI.
So the Mountain View giant has announced a new feature for Gemini that lets you check if a video was created or edited with its own AI models. Great move by Googleand which showcases the company’s transparency strategy at a time when AI-generated videos are proliferating on social media.
Gemini will tell you when a video is created by artificial intelligence
And how will it work? The easiest way. From now on, anyone can upload a video to Gemini and give it something as simple as “Was this video created with Google’s AI?”
The wizard will analyze the image and audio for SynthID, a digital watermark developed by Google to identify content created or modified by its artificial intelligence systems.
If you don’t know what that is, SynthID is a watermark invisible to the human eye and ear. It is integrated directly into the content generation process and, according to Google, resists conventional cropping, compression and editing.
In addition, Google offers a fairly comprehensive analysis. To give you an idea, not only will it tell you if the video is AI-generated or not, but Gemini offers a contextualized response and details at which specific points in the video the track is detected, in the audio track, the image, or both.
This feature expands on the capabilities that Google already launched in November for images. At the time, Gemini began identifying photos created or edited using the company’s own tools. Now, the move to video presents a major challenge, both in terms of technical complexity and potential impact, as the audiovisual format is one of the most widely used to spread misinformation and credible deepfakes.
even so The company admits that it remains to be seen how difficult the technology really is to eliminate. and whether other platforms will be able to detect and continuously display this information.
But at least if we want to know if a video was created by artificial intelligence, Gemini will confirm it as long as it was created using its tools. Little by little, but this is already a good step.
