OpenAI to Embed Invisible Watermarks in ChatGPT Text in Europe
OpenAI announced plans to implement an invisible watermark in text generated by ChatGPT and Codex, starting in Europe to comply with the EU AI Act. The watermark, called textGrain, adds a statistical signal to the output, which can be detected by a dedicated tool to verify AI authorship. API users worldwide will also have the option to enable watermarking for certain models.
