AI and non-AI edits could be flagged directly in the photo details view
Google Photos could soon make it easier to see if a photo or video has been altered with AI tools. This unreleased feature, discovered through references in a breakdown of the app’s code, will attempt to mitigate the issue of not being able to properly identify when a photo or video is real or a deepfake.
The discovery was made in version 7.41 of the app, where code references a feature called „threepio.“ It would add a new „How was this made“ section to the photo details view. It would involve swiping up on a photo or video, where users could see details about how it was created or edited.
The labels it might include are:
„Media created with AI“
„Edited with AI tools“
„Edited with multiple AI tools“
„Edited with non-AI tools“
„Media captured with a camera without software adjustments“
It may also detect when multiple editing tools were used or when several images were combined.
