OpenAI to Add Invisible Watermarks to ChatGPT Text in the EU
The company says the change, required under EU law, could help identify AI-generated text, though it cautions that editing or short passages may weaken detection, according to Anadolu Agency.

OpenAI will add invisible watermarks to text generated by ChatGPT for users in the European Union, in order to comply with EU legal requirements, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.
The company said the watermarking technology can help identify text that was generated by its AI systems. However, OpenAI also cautioned that the method has limitations: editing the text after generation, or working with very short passages, can weaken the reliability of detection.
The move comes as the European Union has pushed for greater transparency around AI-generated content, part of a broader regulatory push across the bloc to address concerns about misinformation, academic integrity and the labeling of synthetic media.
The report did not specify an exact rollout date for the watermarking feature or provide technical detail on how the watermark is embedded or detected.
