Google Fierce competition among some of the world's biggest tech companies has led to a profusion of AI tools that can generate humanlike prose and uncannily realistic images, audio, and video. While those companies promise productivity gains and an AI-powered creativity revolution, fears have also started to swirl around the possibility of an internet that's so thoroughly muddled by AI-generated content and misinformation that it's impossible to tell the real from the fake.

Google originally launched SynthID, its digital watermark for AI-generated content, as a way to detect whether an image was created using the company's Imagen model in 2023. Now, at Google I/O 2025, the company is introducing a public-facing tool called SynthID Detector that claims to detect those watermarks in just about anything you upload. SynthID Detector will be available as a web portal where you can upload images, video, audio and text to be scanned. Once uploaded, SynthID Detector Googl

Last weekend, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett published a comprehensive look into what went wrong with Apple Intelligence. The piece details everything from years-long oversights to a deep misunderstanding of AI’s potential at the company’s highest levels. But more importantly, it also outlines what Apple is doing now to catch up. One of those efforts? A push into synthetic data. As Gurman and Bennett put it: All this has left Apple’s researchers more heavily reliant on datasets it

Google is launching a way to quickly check whether an image, video, audio file, or snippet of text was created using one of its AI tools. SynthID Detector, announced Tuesday at Google I/O 2025, is a verification portal that uses Google’s SynthID watermarking technology to help identify AI-generated content. Users can upload a file, and SynthID Detector will determine whether the whole sample — or just a part of it — is AI-created. The debut of SynthID Detector comes as AI-generated media flood

Last year, Google open-sourced its SynthID AI watermarking system, allowing other developers access to a toolkit for imperceptibly marking content as AI-generated. Now, Google is rolling out a web-based portal to let people easily test if a piece of media has been watermarked with SynthID. After uploading a piece of media to the SynthID Detector, users will get back results that "highlight which parts of the content are more likely to have been watermarked," Google said.

Ever since ChatGPT was released to the public in November 2022, people have been using it to generate text, from emails to blog posts to bad poetry, much of which they post online. Since that release, the companies that build the large language models (LLMs) on which such chatbots are based—such as OpenAI’s GPT 3.5, the technology underlying ChatGPT—have also continued to put out newer versions of their models, training them with new text data, some of which they scraped off the Web.

This divergence could offer a strategic advantage: in winter, while the rest of the tree is dormant, its roots store reserves of carbohydrates and nitrogen-rich substances, such as proteins and amino acids.

Photons filter down through the atmosphere and are eagerly absorbed by light-powered organisms such as plants and algae. Through photosynthesis, the particles of light power a cellular reaction that manufactures chemical energy (in the form of sugars), which is then passed around the food web in a complex dance of herbivores, predators, scavengers, decomposers, and more.
