Google Photos is rumored to add a feature codenamed Threepio that will indicate whether a photo or video was created or altered with artificial intelligence. The development appears in version 7.41 of the app and builds on previous work like SynthID. The goal is to help users understand the provenance of visual content and distinguish real images from AI assisted edits or deepfakes. It remains unclear if SynthID is used in the new feature or operates independently.
