EU Requires Invisible Digital Watermark for AI Content
Listen to the story
The European Union wants people to know when content is made by artificial intelligence.
Brussels now asks companies to add a digital watermark to AI content.
This watermark is called a digital tattoo. It is invisible.
People cannot see it, but computers can find it.
The watermark helps people know if a text, picture, or video is real or made by AI.
This is part of a new EU law called the AI Act.
The company Anthropic makes an AI called Claude.
Anthropic said it will label texts made by Claude.
Anthropic also promises a detector for everyone.
A detector is a tool that checks if AI made the content.
Many people still do not understand the new AI Act well.
The law is new and has many rules.
Governments want AI content to be safe and clear.
This helps stop fake news and lies online.
More rules about AI may come soon.
