Google's Global Image Verification Tool Enhances Online Authenticity
Google is introducing a new tool called "About this image" for English-language users worldwide, allowing them to verify the origin and context of images found online. This feature provides information on an image's history, including when it first appeared on Google, as well as other websites that have used it and stories about it. It also displays metadata, such as the creator and publishers of the image, and indicates if the image has been AI-generated. Google is also bringing Image Search to its Fact Check Explorer for approved journalists, enabling them to search for concrete information about a photo's credibility.
