OpenAI and ElevenLabs Adopt Google's SynthID Audio Watermarking
pushmeet · x · 2026-08-08
A Google DeepMind researcher announced that OpenAI and ElevenLabs have adopted Google's SynthID technology to watermark their audio content.
SynthID is an imperceptible watermarking technology pioneered by DeepMind to address the risks of AI-generated media, particularly in audio and voice cloning. It has previously been integrated into Google's own products like Gemini Live, Lyria, and Veo. Google emphasized that protecting the ecosystem requires an industry-wide effort, and this collaboration marks accelerating momentum in building foundational safety infrastructure.
