With AI watermarking inference providers mark their output as AI generated. But for the system to become useful, lots of independent providers need to collaborate together in a decentralised system without overarching governance.
Watermarks aren’t the silver bullet for AI misinformation

AI text watermarking and quality loss
After the EU AI Act’s transparency guidelines went into effect, and following the announcement that most major AI labs will soon be watermarking their text output to comply, there has been some debate about how much of an impact this is going to have, if any, on the quality of the text produced by AI models.
How Claude's text watermarking works
Future Claude models will generate text that contains a watermark. This is a way of determining the likelihood that Claude was involved in writing the text, and we, along with several other major AI providers, are implementing this change to comply with the EU AI Act. In this article, we share answers to some of the questions we’ve received about how our chosen watermarking method works, whether it affects Claude’s outputs, and why we’re making this change.

Data Streaming for AI: From Extractive Training to Sovereign Infrastructure DWeb Camp 2026
AI systems are consuming the world's content without compensating its creators. This session explores data streaming as a new paradigm — where content flows to AI in real time, with built-in rights management, usage tracking, and fair compensation — and asks what it would take to make this infrastructure decentralized, sovereign, and governed by the communities it serves.

Deciding what's real on the Internet won't be easy in the future.
Collective Governance for AI: Points of Intervention
People often speak about AI as if it is one thing. It can seem like that when we use today’s most popular interfaces: a single product, packaged by an unfathomably big company. But that view is both misleading and disempowering. It implies that only the big companies could possibly create and control this technology, because only they can handle its immensity. But another orientation is possible.
