Google I/O 2026: Google Search and Chrome can now identify AI-generated images – Here’s how
AI-generated images have become extremely common online with the rise of advanced AI models. From viral pictures showing Sundar Pichai having a meal with Elon Musk and other tech leaders to fake photos of people meeting world leaders, it is becoming harder to tell what is real and what is edited.
To address this issue, Google has announced a new tool that can help users identify AI-generated images more easily. The company is adding AI image detection tools to Google Search and the Google Chrome browser using SynthID, a watermarking technology created by Google DeepMind.
