Anthropic will embed watermarks in text and files generated by its AI models to comply with the EU AI Act's transparency requirements taking effect August 2. This includes all models released after the regulation date and plans to extend watermarking support to older models.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a new market entry bar as EU rules force AI-generated text to carry verifiable watermarks. Adjust your compliance and product design now to avoid blocked rollout or penalties.
