AI generated audio created using Google DeepMind’s AI Lyria model, or YouTube’s new audio generation features, will be watermarked with SynthID to let people identify it was AI-generated. Google says the watermark shouldn’t be detectable by the human ear and it should still be detectable even if an audio track is compressed, sped up or down, or has extra noise added.

SynthID also works on images and is supposed to be detectable even after modifications like adding filters, changing colors, and saving with various lossy compression schemes like JPEGs.

This is part of the new presidential executive order surrounding AI generated content that was issued back in Oct 2023.
