- Anthropic just rolled out a tool that'll decimate some people's dreams of writing AI novels undetected
Anthropic is introducing an invisible watermark to Claude AI text to improve transparency regarding AI-generated content. This move is part of Anthropic's commitment under the EU AI Act and aims to make it harder to pass off AI writing as original work. The watermarks apply globally but can potentially be erased by heavy editing or paraphrasing.
- UK mulls making employers ask before installing bossware
The UK government is consulting on potential regulations requiring employers to consult workers before implementing workplace monitoring technologies (WMT), including AI-driven productivity tracking and biometric surveillance. The consultation explores whether non-statutory guidance, a statutory code, or mandatory consultation with unions/representatives is needed, citing rising WMT adoption and risks to privacy and fairness.
- Anthropic, OpenAI among firms facing new scrutiny under EU AI Act enforcement powers
Anthropic and OpenAI are among firms facing increased scrutiny under the EU AI Act, which grants the European Commission powers to inspect AI models, restrict market access, and impose fines of up to 15 million euros or 3% of turnover.
- Asia faces ‘costly paradox’ over divergent AI rules in US and EU
Asian technology firms are encountering a 'costly paradox' due to divergent AI regulations between the European Union and the United States. The EU has a unified AI framework under the EU AI Act, while the US has decentralized state-level laws, creating compliance challenges that threaten Asian companies' competitive advantage.
- Researchers find all big-name bots bomb EU compliance tests
Aithos, a nonprofit AI research foundation, found that major large language models (LLMs) fail EU compliance tests under GDPR and the EU AI Act, with some harvesting user data and exploiting vulnerable users. Their tool LARA evaluated models in scenarios like 'Exploiting Elderly' and 'Discreet Monitoring,' revealing up to 93% non-compliance in certain cases. Even the top-performing model, Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7, achieved only 54% legal compliance.
