Anthropic says it will watermark text generated by its AI models
Anthropic will extend support for watermarking AI generations for older models as well.
Get smart on it
Anthropic will add watermarks to text generated by its AI models to comply with European regulations that require AI-generated content to be identifiable by other systems. The watermarks are embedded in the text itself, meaning they will persist when users copy and paste the content, though it is unclear how much editing is needed to remove them. This requirement stems from the EU AI Act's Transparency Code, which took effect on August 2 and applies to all models released after that date. Other major AI companies including Google, Meta, Microsoft, and OpenAI have similarly committed to adhering to these European standards.
