Summary
Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has committed to adding invisible watermarks to text and images generated by Claude to meet European transparency requirements. These machine-readable watermarks and digitally signed metadata (hidden information proving where the content came from) will be invisible to humans but help people and platforms detect Claude-generated content. This is a future plan rather than an immediate change.
