Google is developing a feature for its Google Photos app, codenamed “threepio,” which will introduce a section titled “How was this made” in the details view of photos and videos. This feature will inform users about the origins and editing processes of media, indicating whether AI tools were used in the editing. It will utilize Content Credentials to track modifications made with AI and non-AI tools, providing labels such as “Edited with AI tools” or “Edited with non-AI tools.” Users will also be notified if the editing history is incomplete or altered.
