Summary
Google is making it easier for people to detect deepfakes (synthetic media created by AI to look real) by adding detection tools to Chrome and Search. The tools will check for SynthID, which is invisible watermarking technology that marks images made with Google's AI tools, and C2PA content credentials (metadata that shows how content was created or changed), helping users understand whether online content is authentic or manipulated.
