Introducing Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar
Summary
Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar is a new enterprise AI feature that adds real-time video of an animated character to conversations, combining live dialogue with low-latency streaming video for a more natural interaction. The avatar can listen, see, and respond with synchronized lip-movements, facial expressions, and supports 97 languages. To maintain trust and prevent misuse, all AI-generated audio and video output is watermarked with SynthID (an imperceptible marker that makes AI-generated content detectable).
Solution / Mitigation
All output generated by Gemini 3.8 Live with Live Avatar is watermarked with SynthID, described as "an imperceptible watermark woven directly into the audio and video output, helping to ensure AI-generated content remains detectable to help minimise misinformation and misattribution."
