Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our
little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.
Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet.
But what we do know is:
The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.
What now?
Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside
digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no
server problems there – promised.
Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧
In recent years, AI models have become more advanced in generating media, creating increasingly photorealistic images and videos. As a result, it’s getting harder to tell the difference between AI-generated visuals and real ones. Google has gradually introduced tools to help identify AI-created images, and it looks like they may soon bring this feature to the Google Photos app.

How Google Photos Could Detect AI Images
In the latest version of Google Photos, code hints suggest Google is working on AI detection features. These include identifiers like “@id/ai_info,” “@id/credit,” and “@id/digital_source_type.”
According to Android Authority, the latter two could relate to how Google identifies image sources and attributes beyond basic EXIF data. For example, ‘id-credit’ might refer to added tags, such as “Made by Gemini” or “Edited with Google Photos.” Furthermore, ‘id-digital_source_type’ could function similarly to the Digital Source Field, which shows the original source of a media file.
Samsung already uses similar AI tags, like a watermark saying “AI-generated content” when its Sketch to Image feature is used.
While we don’t yet know the exact details of what ‘ai_info’ will include, it’s likely tied to AI watermarking tools like Google’s SynthID and the new CP2A standard (developed by major tech companies including Google). These markers will help Google detect and label AI-generated or edited photos, distinguishing them from untouched ones.
Although Google hasn’t confirmed the exact purpose of these IDs or how they will work in Google Photos, it’s clear the company is expanding its AI detection tools beyond Search and Chrome.
What is your opinion on Google using tools in the gallery to label AI images? Is this a vital feature that other manufacturers should implement to their devices and services? Please let us know in the comments.
