Anthropic explains how Claude's invisible text watermarks will work

TL;DR

  • Anthropic will apply invisible watermarks to text generated by Claude.
  • This feature is to comply with the European Union's AI Act transparency rules.
  • The watermarking technology is a version of Google DeepMind's open-source SynthID-Text.
  • It works by subtly altering word choices based on a key, creating a detectable pattern.
  • The watermarks will be undetectable to readers but detectable by those with the key.
  • This feature will not impact the cost or quality of Claude's outputs.
  • Other AI models like Google's Gemini already use SynthID-Text, and OpenAI will also be subject to these regulations.
