Google Rolls Out New Search Tools to Provide Image Context and Identify AI Fakes

Google's new "About This Image" tool analyzes an image's metadata to provide context and identify AI fakes. It is now rolling out as part of Google's updated search tools.

The improved Google Search has built-in tools to help users find verified or fact-checked information.

The tool provides image history, context from other sites, and metadata like when and where it was created or if AI was used.

Google's Fact Check Explorer lets users investigate an image's use in existing fact checks.

The tools rely on users taking steps to actively check and verify image sources.
