TechClaude will apply invisible watermarks to AI text and images

Anthropic says it will begin marking text and images generated by Claude with machine-readable data. The company describes the move as an effort to comply with European requirements for AI transparency. Generated text will contain embedded watermarks, while supported files will carry digitally signed provenance metadata. The markings will not be visible to people, but machines will be able to detect them.
