Watermarks Without Verification: AI Text Watermarking After the EU AI Act

The paper discusses the EU AI Act’s requirement for generative AI providers to embed detectable watermarks in their outputs, noting that Anthropic’s Claude models and Google’s Gemini use SynthID‑Text by default. It critiques the lack of verifiability of claims about watermark quality, privacy, and robustness, and evaluates the open‑source SynthID‑Text implementation on two open‑weight models, finding minimal impact on prose and modest correctness loss on code. The authors argue that the real governance issue is the inability to verify these assertions and outline necessary steps—such as output release, configuration disclosure, accredited audits, shared evaluation protocols, and interoperable detection—to address the gaps.

The Invisible Editorial Layer: Formalizing Undisclosed Inference-Time Steering, Probability Placement, and the Attribution Problem in Deployed Language Models

The paper argues that modern inference pipelines add an unseen layer of control between a language model’s frozen weights and its output, altering probability distributions before token selection. It introduces the concepts of the Inference Attribution Problem, Probability Placement, and Inference Policy Transparency to describe how such interventions can bias generated language toward specific frames and how these biases cannot be traced solely to model weights. The authors discuss the governance, security, and economic implications of these undisclosed inference policies, referencing EU AI Act, Digital Services Act, and FTC doctrines.

Position: AI Governance Needs ISO-like Interoperability Protocols, Not Just Laws

The paper argues that AI governance should rely on ISO-like interoperability protocols rather than solely on jurisdiction-specific laws. It proposes standardized AI nutrition labels that include metrics for bias, energy usage, and data provenance to enable machine‑readable risk communication across borders. These protocols aim to reduce regulatory fragmentation, lower barriers for SMEs, and build public trust while allowing modular evolution with technology.
