OpenAI adds invisible watermarks to ChatGPT in EU
openai will add watermarks to chatgpt text in the eu but makes it optional for api users worldwide. this affects eu users and ai providers.
openai is introducing textgrain, a technology that embeds an invisible statistical signal in chatgpt's word choices, to comply with eu ai act requirements. the company will turn on watermarking for chatgpt and codex users in the european union over the coming weeks. api watermarking will be opt-in worldwide, available through cloud partners like microsoft azure. detection rates depend on text length and subject matter, and editing text reduces detection rates.
