A new study evaluating AI watermarking methods has found that current techniques are not robust enough for forensic readiness, particularly when content is paraphrased. Researchers tested three representative methods (KGW, Unigram, and SynthID-Text) against legal admissibility criteria and digital forensic processes. The findings indicate that all tested methods failed to reliably detect AI-generated content after paraphrasing, with some also exhibiting high false-negative rates and misclassifying human-written text.
