AI Watermarking — AI Glossary

AI watermarking is the practice of embedding hidden, machine-detectable patterns into AI-generated content — text, images, audio, or video — so that the content can later be identified as AI-produced. These invisible markers do not affect the quality of the output for human readers or viewers, but specialized detection tools can recognize the embedded signature. Watermarking helps combat misinformation, protect intellectual property, and establish trust in digital content.
