Claude AI model now watermarked under EU AI Act

Anthropic has begun embedding invisible watermarks in all text generated by its Claude AI models, a move designed to comply with the European Union's AI Act and help identify AI-generated content.

The watermark is designed to remain invisible to readers but can travel with the text when copied, raising concerns among users about privacy and the potential for misuse.

The company has defended the feature as a necessary step for transparency and accountability in AI.
