According to the report of 9to5google, Google Photos has added a new feature to this platform in order to increase transparency in the use of artificial intelligence to edit images. This feature allows users to easily identify to what extent different photos have been altered by AI.
In the latest update of the popular Google Photos app, a new section titled “Artificial Intelligence Information” is added in the details section of each image. This part provides the user with information about the type of editing done with artificial intelligence and the tools used for this. For example, if an image was edited using the Magic Eraser tool, this section indicates that the image was edited using artificial intelligence.
Google Photos provides users with various image editing tools based on artificial intelligence. Among these tools, we can mention the magic eraser and smart zoom. These tools allow users to easily edit their images without the need for specialized knowledge. This has raised concerns about the authenticity and authenticity of the images.
To implement this feature, Google uses metadata standards defined by the International Press and Telegraph Council (IPTC). These standards allow the exchange of information about images between different software. Using these standards, information about AI-edited images will be preserved even if these images are transferred to other platforms.
This feature isn’t just for Google’s AI-based editing tools, and will properly tag photos that have been edited with other tools as well. Finally, by implementing this feature, Google has taken an important step towards increasing transparency in image editing with artificial intelligence. It is expected that other companies active in the field of technology will also follow this approach and, in this way, develop new standards for identifying images created and edited with artificial intelligence.
