Google releases 'About This Image' feature that can distinguish images generated by artificial intelligence to reduce misinformation. It informs the source of which image was created and is applied to Midjourney and Shutterstock. It will be available in English starting in the US in the coming months.
If you click the 'More' icon on the image, there is an item called About this image. Clicking on an item will show you when that image or similar images were first indexed by Google, where the image is believed to have first appeared, and where images have been published elsewhere.
You can also view the image directly in Google Lens or take a screenshot to identify it. Google plans to include markup in all original files of AI-generated images that Google creates to provide context when images are found externally.
It seems like a good direction to gain trust in an era where the original is lost. In the age of reproduction, just like photos and CDs, the same value could be duplicated and ownership corrected, but AI-generated images are difficult to determine ownership and copyright. Being ownerless means not being controlled in many ways.
Even at first glance, there are still a lot of teas that AI made. Each AI feels like a style of one person. It would be essential to classify that it was created by AI. How much does the label 'AI-generated with Google' add credibility to Google?
