Google Introduces AI-Image Labeling to Help You Spot the Real Deal
Real Estate:Google is taking a significant step towards promoting transparency online by introducing a new feature that identifies whether an image was captured with a camera, edited using software like Photoshop, or created using generative AI models.

This feature, integrated into Google Search results, will provide users with greater insight into the origins of images they encounter online. But how does it work?

Google's system relies on the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) standard, an initiative backed by major tech companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, OpenAI, and Intel. C2PA authentication creates a digital trail for images, embedding information about their origin across both hardware and software.

Google has been instrumental in developing the latest C2PA technical standard (version 2.1) and will leverage a forthcoming C2PA trust list to verify the authenticity of image metadata. Laurie Richardson, Vice President of Trust and Safety at Google, explained,
