Google Photos is working on a new feature to combat deepfakes by tagging AI-generated images. This feature, spotted in the latest version of Google Photos, will utilize metadata tags to indicate if an image was created or enhanced using AI. This move aims to increase transparency and help users differentiate between authentic and AI-generated content.
The feature is part of a broader industry effort to combat deepfakes, which are digital manipulations that use AI to create realistic but false media. Deepfakes can be used to spread misinformation or deceive audiences, and have raised concerns among experts and individuals alike.
By introducing AI attribution features, Google Photos aims to provide users with more information about the origin of images in their gallery. This feature may be displayed through EXIF data or on-image badges, similar to what Meta has implemented on Instagram.
