A couple of months ago, we reported how Google Search will label if an image was AI-generated, edited by photo editing software or taken with a camera by working with Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) as a technical standard. Well, now Google officially supports C2PA metadata in the about this image feature.
Google wrote this morning, Google Search now supports this [C2PA] metadata in the “About this image” feature.”
Google updated its image meta data documentation to add a new section for “How C2PA metadata can appear in Google Search results.”
The new section reads:
If an image contains C2PA metadata, Google can extract those details and may show information in the “About this image” feature, such as how the image was created or if it was edited with AI tools. This metadata comes from a signer, which is usually an app, device, or service (for example, photo editing software, the camera itself, or other services that modify or create images) that meets the following conditions:
- The app, device, or service has adopted C2PA version 2.1 or later.
- The image’s manifest must be signed by a certificate from a Certification Authority on the C2PA Trust List.
It does seem like Adobe products, like Photoshop, Illustrated, and others, do support this metadata.
I just wonder how it handles the image above, which I generate using Midjourney AI and then edit later in Photoshop.
