How Claude's text watermarking works
Anthropic describes a text-watermarking system planned for Claude to estimate whether Claude was involved in generating or processing text, primarily to comply with the EU AI Act. The method uses a key and preceding words to influence the source of randomness in low-stakes word choices, creating a detectable pattern without adding characters, tokens, identifying information, or extra cost. Anthropic says internal testing found no impact on content, creativity, readability, or perceived quality, while detection confidence improves with longer passages and weakens when text offers few valid alternatives, such as factual statements, proofreading, or code. The watermark can indicate only that Claude was likely involved, not whether text was human-written, who authored it, or which person or organization used Claude; light editing may not remove it, but a complete rewrite will.

The best engineering reads, once a week.
