Google has announced the general availability of SynthID Text, a new tool that allows developers to watermark and detect text generated by AI models. The tool is now accessible on Hugging Face and through Google’s Responsible GenAI Toolkit. SynthID Text modifies token distribution in generative models to insert a watermark, aiding in the identification of AI-generated content. While it maintains the quality and accuracy of text generation, it has limitations with short or translated text. The introduction of watermarking technology comes amidst growing concerns about AI-generated misinformation.
