FStoppers: Google Adds Watermarks to AI Photos. “Google has introduced a digital watermarking system called SynthID to discreetly label images that are generated or heavily edited by artificial intelligence. The technology embeds an imperceptible identifier into the pixels of AI-created or AI-modified photos, which humans cannot see but software can detect.”

Google will mark its AI-generated images, show labels in Search https://9to5google.com/2023/05/10/google-about-this-image/

Remember to watermark everything you post that you want to have tracked back to your stage name! That way if/when your work is stolen and distributed, it serves as advertising and potential new fans aren't left sadly unable to trace the origins of their new favorite images

On Friday I will be speaking of watermarks and letterlocking in the missives sent from the castle of Raseborg in 1389-1521. The paper is part of the annual seminar of SKAS, the Spciety of Medieval Archaeology in Finland (in Finnish). #Raseborg #medieval #histodons #watermarks #letterlocking #missives #communication #scribes #15thCentury #informationmanagement #Tallinn #Finland
