AI News/Wire summary
OpenAI to watermark ChatGPT text by default in the EU
Key points
- Watermarking will be automatic for ChatGPT text in the EU, driven by the EU AI Act's marking requirement.
- Outside the EU the feature stays off by default but will be available as an option.
- OpenAI's tests show 92 percent detection, but changing 10 percent of text cuts detection by almost 30 percent.
- Detector access goes to limited researchers and organizations, with a request process for others added over time.
Why it matters for marketers: Content teams publishing in the EU should expect ChatGPT-generated text to carry watermarks, and should not rely on them as a reliable AI-detection signal.
