AI BriefingOpenAI limits ChatGPT text watermarking to EU, raising questions for Anthropic's global policy
Key point
OpenAI will add invisible watermarks to eligible ChatGPT and Codex text output in the European Union only, declining to make it a global default at launch.
Details
OpenAI announced that ChatGPT and Codex will receive invisible text watermarks exclusively in the European Union over the coming weeks. The feature applies to eligible users across all plans, but the company explicitly stated it is not making text watermarking a global default at launch.
This regional restriction contrasts with Anthropic's previous stance, where the company indicated it would apply watermarking globally because it lacked a durable method to scope the feature by region. The divergence raises questions about whether Anthropic will adjust its policy to align with its competitor's regional approach.
