Anthropic has implemented invisible watermarks in its Claude chatbot's outputs to comply with the EU AI Act's transparency requirements. This move has sparked backlash from some users who fear the watermarks will expose their use of AI for tasks like rephrasing text or summarizing documents, potentially leading to accusations of academic or professional misconduct. While some users argue this is a necessary measure to identify AI-generated content and its associated risks, others criticize the policy as unethical, particularly given the origins of AI training data.
