The new European AI transparency rules requiring text watermarks aim to protect consumers but risk fostering a culture of fear and mistrust by enabling accusations of AI use based on imperfect detection methods. Instead of relying on hidden watermarks and AI checkers that can wrongly label human writing as AI-generated, iA Writer advocates for clear, author-controlled transparency that marks exactly which parts of a text are AI-generated, supporting responsible use without undermining the human creative process. This approach emphasizes ethical clarity over surveillance, preserving trust and the meaningfulness of literature in an AI-augmented writing landscape.
