AI watermarks can help identify when a model may have been involved in creating content. But they cannot prove accuracy, originality, meaningful human review, or who is accountable for the final result.
This episode examines why a watermark is a clue—not a verdict—and introduces a practical three-question control for consequential AI-assisted work:
1. How was AI used?
2. What did a qualified human verify or change?
3. Who owns the final result?
