Google is embedding inaudible watermarks right into its AI generated music

TL;DR

  • Google DeepMind's AI Lyria model and YouTube's audio features will use SynthID to watermark AI-generated audio.
  • The watermark is designed to be inaudible and not compromise the listening experience.
  • SynthID aims to be detectable even after audio compression, speed changes, or added noise.
  • Watermarking is considered an important safeguard against generative AI harms, with government standards being developed.
  • The audio implementation of SynthID visualizes the audio wave's frequency spectrum over time.
  • Google previously released SynthID for images generated by its Imagen model, which is resistant to some image manipulations.
