What if AI-generated text could carry a watermark you’d never see?

That’s exactly what Anthropic is doing with Claude.
FIU AI researcher Mustafa Ocal explains how subtle patterns in word choice can create a watermark that’s invisible to us but detectable by a machine.

His explanation? A little blackjack math.

Read the full Q&A to see why Ocal calls the technology “brilliant.” Link in bio.

What if AI-generated text had a hidden fingerprint you couldn’t see?

Claude may now have one.

Anthropic is watermarking AI-generated text in a way that is invisible to human readers but detectable by a specialized scanner. And no, it’s not hidden characters or suspicious “AI words.”

Claude’s new watermark is invisible to us, but AI researcher Mustafa Ocal at FIU Knight Foundation School of Computing compares the technology to spotting a suspiciously lucky run at the blackjack table.

He explains the surprisingly sophisticated math behind it, why deleting em dashes won’t remove it, and what this could mean for knowing what’s real and what’s AI-generated.

What if a living “Band-Aid” could help heal the heart? ❤️

Meet Ph.D. student Alexi Switz, who’s developing a cardiac patch designed to repair heart tissue after a heart attack.

Inspired by plant cell walls and guided by Professor Anamika Prasad, Ph.D., Alexi combines tissue engineering and biomimicry to create something incredible.

The wild part? She’s developed tissue structures in a petri dish that can beat like real heart tissue.

It all started with asking a big question and getting the chance to explore it through research.

The best time to get involved in research is before you think you're ready.

Before his first class at FIU, Abiel Almonte found a home in the Applied Research Center, where he says he found his "sandbox" to build coding skills and dive into cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and machine learning.

A year and a half of undergraduate research helped launch internships at NVIDIA and Apple, an IEEE publication and an award-winning Senior Design project.

Read how getting involved in a lab early shaped his path into some of the world's biggest tech companies.

The quantum era is here. ⚛️ We’re excited to see what we will build, test and discover with this new technology on campus. Let's go!

Miami is entering the quantum era. ⚛️

Through a new partnership with IonQ, FIU will become the first university in Florida to acquire a full-stack quantum computer, the Superion 256, expected on campus in 2027.

From clean energy to cybersecurity to drug discovery, our researchers and students will help shape what's next. https://bit.ly/4rskoeq
