Google Gemini now allows cross-verification of AI-generated content using Google Search: Here’s how it works

Google Gemini AI

AI-generated content has become quite common now amidst the growing popularity of various AI tools. Therefore, it has become really difficult to curate and determine the authenticity of the content we see every day on the internet. To help combat this issue, Google has integrated a double-checking feature using its search engine with the help of the Gemini AI chatbot.

When Gemini AI generates a response to a query, users will see a new toggle labeled ‘double-check response’ to confirm that the content is AI-generated. It also allows users to cross-verify the information generated by the chatbot, using a mix of Google Search and other sources.

Google is also using a unique colour-coding system so that users can assess the accuracy of Gemini’s responses. Gemini users will now see a new ‘G‘ button themed with the traditional Google colours. After clicking the button, you will get these types of responses.

Green Highlight – This response indicates that Google has found multiple search results for this answer and it’s verified.

Orange highlight – This highlight indicates that Gemini’s response is different from the content on Google Search and any relevant information is not found.

No highlight – If the generated response from Gemini has no colour coding, it means that Google couldn’t find any conclusive evidence to verify this answer.

Depending on the responses generated by Gemini AI, there are chances that some information matches existing content on the internet, and others may not. Hence, to help users verify the accuracy of AI-generated content, Google has integrated this cross-verification feature using Google Search. It will be available on mobile and desktops.
