SynthID

SynthID is Google DeepMind’s watermark for AI-generated images, audio and video, and SynthID Detector is the public tool that checks for it. RCTV tracks what the detector can and can’t verify, and how its terms compare with what provenance statutes such as California’s SB 1000 require. See the AI Video Stack for the wider provenance picture.
