Google has rolled out a new feature in its AI chatbot, Gemini, making it easier for people to check whether a video was created or edited using artificial intelligence. The tool is now available globally and can be used by anyone with access to Gemini. This update comes just a month after Google introduced a similar feature for detecting AI-generated images, showing the company’s growing focus on content transparency. Why Google built this tool? As AI tools get better at creating realistic photos, videos, and audio, concerns around deepfakes are rising. Fake videos can spread misinformation, confuse viewers, or even harm people’s reputations. To deal with this, Google has been expanding its tools that help users understand where content really comes from. What is SynthID and how does it help? Back in 2023, Google introduced SynthID, a digital watermark that is invisible to the human eye. This watermark is added to content created or edited using Google’s AI tools. Over time, SynthID has been upgraded to work across text, images, audio, and videos. Even if the content is cropped, copied, or edited outside Google’s platform, the watermark can still be detected.

Upload a video to the Gemini app or website and ask a question like, “Was this video created or edited using AI?” Gemini then checks both the video and audio separately. For example, it might say that AI was detected in the audio between certain seconds, while the visuals remain untouched.
