All AI rules
Watermarks
Can anyone check our images for an AI watermark?
Yes. Since October 7, 2026, Google’s SynthID Detector is open to everyone. It checks images, video, and audio for AI marks from Google, OpenAI, NVIDIA, and Kakao.
What this means for marketers
It also reads marks on media already published. Worth considering: if your creative came from those tools, assume anyone can confirm it.
