OpenAI will automatically watermark text generated by ChatGPT in the European Union, with the feature offered but off by default in other regions.
The move responds to the EU AI Act, which took effect in August and requires AI-generated content to be detectable by other tools.
The watermark, called textGrain, embeds patterns in word choice, and OpenAI will share its detector only with a limited group of researchers and organizations, with others able to request access over time.
