GoKawiilAnthropic launches tool to detect Claude-generated images, audio and video
Anthropic has released a web page at claude.com/check-content that lets users upload files to see if Claude was involved in creating them, using embedded content credentials under the C2PA standard. The checker currently supports only multimedia formats like JPEGs, GIFs, MP3s and MOVs, not text documents. A separate text-detection API exists but remains in private preview for select organizations.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The tool arrives amid growing pressure to verify AI-generated content, but its exclusion of text formats limits its usefulness for common concerns like detecting AI-written essays or messages. Restricting the text-detection API to select organizations under EU requirements suggests regulatory compliance is driving rollout decisions as much as public demand for transparency.
- Anthropic's checker verifies only image, audio and video files, not text, using the C2PA credential standard.
- A separate Detection API for text is in private preview, limited to eligible organizations per EU law.
- Anthropic says its text watermarking won't affect Claude's speed, cost or output quality, and persists through copy-paste.

The Anker 555 adds USB-C and USB-A ports plus SD and microSD slots, so pulling media off a camera for verification is one plug away.
