Fortunately there are plenty of them online, and you don't even have to leave your Google homepage to find them. Today, Google announced the global expansion of its About this image tool, an updated image information resource that the company hopes will bolster users' visual literacy and help them confirm the credibility of images online.

Google's launched other fact-checking resources in the past, including labels that note when a page has been highly-cited, fact checks directly in Search results, and advisories when relevant information isn't available on Google Search.

The company has also committed to ensuring all of its AI-generated images have a markup in the original file to provide context outside of Google's generative AI platforms. In partnership with Google, publishers (including AI image generators by Midjourney and Shutterstock) committed to including AI-generated flags on their images. In June, Google expanded its fact-checking investments even further, and announced in September that the company would mandate disclosure of AI-altered political ads appearing on Google and YouTube.

Despite these commitments, individuals should still exercise their own due diligence in verifying an image's credibility. Here are ways you can use Google to verify those viral, or potentially AI-altered, images.

About this image

Google announced About this image in May, providing quick access to additional context for images appearing online and in search.

Rolling out globally to English language Google Search users beginning today, About this image can provide more information on an image's history, like when an image or similar images may have first been seen by Google Search and whether it was previously published much earlier on other webpages, the company explains. "This can be helpful if an image is being taken out of context and shared in relation to a current event, but it's actually much older," Google writes.

It also provides context for how other pages, including news and fact-checking sites, use and describe the image, which Google says can help users assess the claims being made about an image and see evidence and perspectives from other sources.

About this image also provides users with an image's metadata, when it's made available by creators and publishers, including fields that may indicate that it has been generated or enhanced by AI.

Fact Check Explorer

Google's Fact Check Explorer is an online fact-check search tool that utilizes Google's claim review markup, the same process that facilitates publishers uploading false claim reviews and Google's display of fact checks on search results. The explorer aggregates already published fact checks from online sites, rather than providing a fact check itself.

In June, Google released a new beta version of the Fact Check Explorer that allows users to also search fact-checked images. When searching an image on the new page, fact checkers will have access to other Google information as well, including when it was first indexed on Google, any online references of that image, an overview of the different topics associated with the image, and the evolution of these references over time.

Interested users can apply for beta tester approval. Google is also expanding Image Search functionality to its FactCheck Claim Search API, which will allow journalists and fact checkers to incorporate the search tool into their own fact-checking products.
