Anthropic clarifies after Claude watermark controversy over AI labeling
Anthropic has begun inserting hard-to-detect watermarks into outputs from some Claude models, raising concerns over copyright and privacy. The watermark can remain after copy-and-paste and may persist after edits, and Anthropic says it is meant to distinguish human and AI writing. Critics warn the company could act as sole arbiter, while developers question impacts on text quality and on lightly edited human writing. Anthropic says it will provide a free API and that the mark indicates processing, not authorship.
