How It Works: SynthID embeds an invisible watermark in the text by slightly adjusting the probability scores of generated tokens.

Integration and Limitations: Already used in Google’s Gemini chatbot, SynthID is effective for various text lengths but struggles with very short text, paraphrased content, and translations .

Building Block for Future Tools: While not a complete solution for identifying AI-generated content, SynthID is a step toward more reliable detection methods.

Regulatory Interest: There’s increasing regulatory interest in AI watermarking, with California exploring mandatory requirements for AI-generated content, following similar actions by China.

User Empowerment: By providing tools for identifying AI content, SynthID aims to empower users to make informed decisions, promoting transparency in how AI is used and its impact on society.
