The “AI Insights” section can be found in the image details view of Google Photos on both the web and the app.

Google announced that starting next week, photos that are edited with the use of the IArtificial intelligence (AI) through the application Google Photos They will have a notice along with them. In this way, the company aims to make it as transparent as possible the use of this tool, where it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the veracity of the content.

“Photos edited with tools like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser and Zoom Enhance They already include metadata based on technical standards from the International Press and Telecommunications Council (IPTC) to indicate that they have been edited with generative AI,” wrote John Fisher, director of engineering at Google Photos, in a blog post. “Now we’re going a step further, making this information visible along with information like the file name, location, and backup status in the Photos app.”

It will not be only in generative Artificial Intelligence

But they also warned that these labels they will not be strictly limited to generative AI. Google says it will also specify when a “photo” contains elements from several different images, such as when people use the features Best Take and Add Me of the Pixel. However, this metadata can be easily circumvented by those who try to do so intentionally.

“This work is not over and we will continue to gather feedback and evaluate additional solutions to add more transparency around AI edits”Fisher wrote.

In summary, it is worth noting that the metadata in the images previously existed, and thanks to this new measure chosen by Google, they will be more visible to users.
