Anthropic Tests Whether Claude Watermarks Are Infrastructure, Not Compliance Theater
Invisible marks in Claude output turn EU transparency pressure into a product design question for builders and publishers.
- Treat Claude provenance as a workflow requirement, not just a compliance note.
- Preserve C2PA metadata and document which Claude models produce marked output.
- Do not use watermark detection as automatic proof, because Anthropic says it is not conclusive.
