The identifiability of AI-generated content is critical as more and more people use text and images from these services, and the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) set a deadline of August 2, 2026 for AI service providers to start implementing identifiability measures. To that end, Anthropic has published a guidance article detailing how new versions of Claude will comply with article 50 of the law specifically.
The legislation is accompanied by a Code of Practice with suggestions for implementation, and in keeping with that code, all new Claude models will watermark text and add provenance data to generated files, namely images (of SVG, PNG, and JPG file types). Anthropic's guidance is a bit late to the party, as OpenAI and Google already published their own versions a while back.
