Summary
Anthropic is implementing invisible watermarking in Claude to help identify AI-generated text, complying with EU regulations requiring AI companies to mark their outputs. The watermark works by subtly changing how Claude picks words during text generation (using a secret key to influence the randomness when selecting each word), creating an undetectable pattern that only someone with the key can verify, without affecting the quality or readability of the output.
