Explained in plain English

What are AI watermarks?

AI watermarks are digital markers embedded in AI-generated content like images or audio. Visible ones are clearly seen, while invisible ones, like Google's SynthID, are hidden. They help identify content as AI-created, promoting transparency and helping users distinguish between human and machine-made media. This story is about Google giving users control over the visible ones.
