Google Gemini allows users to disable visible AI watermarks

By PulseAugur Editorial · [5 sources] ·

Google has introduced an update allowing users to disable visible watermarks on AI-generated content produced by its Gemini tools. While visible "sparkle" watermarks can be turned off, Google will continue to embed invisible watermarks using SynthID and the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) standards. This move aligns with practices from other AI developers like OpenAI and Meta, who also rely on invisible watermarking for content verification. AI

IMPACT This change may make it harder to immediately identify AI-generated content, though invisible watermarks remain for verification.
