Google is Add new digital watermark For those photographs that have been edited using the company’s magic editor. Started with this generous AI feature Google Pixel 8 Series And other of Google’s others Recent pixel smartphone,
The magic editor enables photographers to tap subjects or objects in his photos and uses AI to move (or remove) and wholesale changes in the scene, including the background and adjusting the position of the lighting situation .
There are notable concerns about misinformation using generic AI technologies, which Google partially addressed by the company’s AI to apply syntid digital watermarking on images made fully fully created by the company’s AI. However, this syntheed digital watermark now applies to edited images using the “remagin” feature of the magic editor, at least in most cases.
Google notes that in some cases, users with remagins editing “may be very small for labeled and detection.” Google provides an example of a person who changes the color of a small flower in the background of a shot, which can avoid detection. However, generally, the company believes that its syntid changes will ensure that people can “quickly and easily” to better identify the AI-related materials.
Since 2023, syntid has been in development And embed a digital watermark directly into an image pixel. While it is not visible to people, it is easily found by compatible software and platforms, including Google image search.
The trick also addresses something Serious concern about Google’s lack of transparencyWhen the Pixel 9 Pro launched, Petpixel Told that there was no watermark or information in the “information” tab of an image whether it was edited using the company’s generic AI. Potential problems are obvious, which involves quick -making and spreading disintegration.
“The image of Gemini using the generator using scratch images uses a tagging system called syntid that tags them as not real, but not images converted using generic AI in the magic editor of Pixel 9. This is a clearly shocking, condolence oversight, ”written PetpixelJeron Schnider last August.
Now, the images edited using Magic Editor Will (usually) have syntid digital watermarking and information about AI editing will be included in an image information.
However, there are concerns about the identification of an easily an-edited material on the web. Such a digital watermark requires that a person consume material within the compatible ecosystem, which is not always the case. Identifying the AI-converted material requires a multidimensional approach, and while Google has improved one of those aspects today, yet the gaps have been left to close.
