Like Anthropic, OpenAI is adding an 'invisible watermark' to comply with EU regulations, but says a 'regional approach gives us room to learn from real-world use and feedback.'

This move is to comply with the EU's new AI transparency rules.

The move comes in response to new European regulations, and the feature is enabled by default only within the EU.

OpenAI will begin automatically watermarking text generated with ChatGPT in the European Union, the company has announced. It will also offer the watermarking feature in other regions, but it will be off by default outside of the EU.
