Google has announced it will start adding digital watermarks to images edited with generative AI, specifically targeting images modified using the Reimagine feature on Pixel 9 devices. As generative AI becomes increasingly sophisticated, the line between edited and wholly AI-generated photos blurs, prompting calls for transparency. Using SynthID from Google's DeepMind, the watermark ensures original content remains unaltered while allowing users to verify the authenticity of images through metadata. This initiative reflects Google's broader commitment to transparency in AI applications, aligning with its established AI principles.
