It’s getting harder and harder to tell if the video you’re receiving is a real recording or computer-generated coe. However, you can now load it and check the result. The process is very straightforward. Just upload the video to Gemini and ask a simple question; For example, ask if this video was produced using Google’s artificial ielligence.
Gemini starts the verification process with a technology called SyhID. SyhID is Google’s proprietary digital watermarking technology that embeds signals in coe generated by artificial ielligence. These signals cannot be detected by humans, but they are easily detected by software. The tool performs a thorough check and analyzes the eire file to determine whether AI was used for the background music, the video images themselves, or both.
If you plan to use this tool coinuously, you should be aware of some practical limitations. Currely, the files you upload should not exceed 100MB in size and their duration should not exceed 90 seconds. These limitations mean that it is not possible to check full movies, but it will be enough to check short clips and social media coe.
This new feature is an extension of the tool that Google had previously launched for images. The company has been coinuously advancing its SyhID technology for a considerable period of time, aiming to provide structured transparency to the coe generated by its tools. Since the iroduction of this technology in 2023, Google claims to have watermarked more than 20 billion pieces of coe produced by artificial ielligence. Such a high volume of flagged coe means that if an AI-generated image originates from a Google-owned model, Gemini’s system can ideify it almost immediately. This new feature extends the same level of scrutiny and rigor to moving images and audio coe.
However, there is one very importa limitation that should be noted. This tool is strictly limited to coe that has been produced or edited using Google’s own iernal tools. If an image or video is created using an artificial ielligence model not affiliated with Google, Gemini will not be able to provide information about it. As a result, this tool is practically only used to create transparency within Google’s exclusive ecosystem.
Google prefers users to rely on Gemini for such reviews and not need to use third-party tools to analyze images and videos. Although this company has made it easier to ideify the coe produced by itself, the lack of support for external models makes this feature not considered as a comprehensive and universal tool for ideifying artificial ielligence coe.
