Anthropic opens Claude AI text detection to regulators, media, fact-checkers, and others

Anthropic has announced the launch of a new API that allows regulators, media outlets, and researchers to verify whether texts carry Claude's digital watermark. This launch comes in response to the EU AI Act, which mandates invisible watermarks in AI-generated texts. This move is significant for ensuring transparency in AI usage, enabling stakeholders to authenticate text origins. However, critics warn that this technology could negatively impact text quality and create transparency issues in cases where contracts prohibit AI use.
