OpenAI has announced plans to implement watermarking for text generated by its ChatGPT and Codex models within the European Union. This measure is a direct response to the upcoming EU AI Act, aiming to ensure compliance with the new regulatory framework.
The watermarking technology is designed to embed invisible markers within the AI-generated content, allowing for its identification. However, OpenAI acknowledges that sophisticated editing techniques could potentially make these marks more difficult to detect, a point noted in their announcement.
