Companies that build or deploy AI text tools for the EU market may need to assess whether their labeling methods can meet the new watermarking requirement. If watermarking falls short, providers could face pressure to find other ways to identify AI-generated text. Readers should watch the test results and any guidance that clarifies what counts as compliant.
