Text watermarking in generative AI involves embedding a hidden signal within AI-generated text without affecting readability. This process integrates into the token sampling stage of autoregressive Large Language Models. A common method, the Green-List / Red-List Partitioning Algorithm, uses a context window and SHA-256 hashing to create a pseudo-random seed, which then partitions the vocabulary into green and red lists. A bias parameter is added to the logits of green-list tokens to encourage their selection during generation. Detection involves statistical hypothesis testing, calculating a z-score based on the number of green tokens in a sequence to determine if the text is likely watermarked. AI
