Some AI creations are so believable that they are difficult to distinguish from reality. And if you don’t know, it’s okay to ask. Now there is someone. That’s because Google Photos no longer hides information about whether AI editing has been performed on a photo only in its metadata.
Google launch pressit says, providing users with detailed information about whether their photos were edited using AI software. The move is justified by the company’s interest in being more transparent when sharing photos on its platform. Google adds: “Starting next week, the Photos app will detail whether an image was previously edited with one of our AI tools.”

This simply means that there is no need to check metadata to see if AI has interfered with the image in any way. Information about this fact can already be found in the details of the photo. The information provided through the Informace AI Info offer should be very comprehensive so that you can also find out what features have been modified. That means you can at least know if Google’s features have been used directly (even negative ones). For example, you can see the use of the Best Take, Add Me, Magic Editor, Magic Eraser or Zoom Enhance features. It’s not yet clear what other solutions might look like.
While Google already complies with International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC) standards, this news is expected to provide greater transparency by making any “AI antics” more visible to all users. The company also said it will continue to look for alternative solutions and methods to increase transparency in Gen AI creations.

How does he do it? All Galaxy included?
Samsung also informs customers that the image in question was edited or created in some way by AI. He also stipulates this information in the metadata, although without further details. However, it goes even better if you add a watermark directly to the bottom left corner of each modified image with the help of AI. This may degrade the results slightly, but can be easily refined. Of course, the information remains in the metadata.
