AI watermarking evaluation must address bias, paper argues

The authors propose a framework for more inclusive benchmarking, emphasizing cross-lingual detection parity, culturally diverse content coverage, and demographic disaggregation of metrics, arguing that these fairness evaluations should precede widespread deployment.
