Deep Learning Based AI-Generated Image Detection
摘要
The very fast advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in image generation has made it very difficult to differentiate AI-generated images from human generated images. This differentiation is important for digital forensics, media integrity, and intellectual property protection. In this paper, we go through various deep learning models, including EfficientNet-B0, EfficientNet-B3, and ResNet152V2, to classify AI-generated and human-generated images. Our process in the paper involves step by step fine-tuning of these architectures, using a dataset containing both human generated and AI-generated images. Final results show that transitioning from EfficientNet-B0 to ResNet152V2 improves classification performance, giving us a final validation accuracy of 98% and an AUC of 0.99. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of DL models in detecting AI-generated images and focus on the importance of continued advancements in image authenticity classification to mitigate risks associated with misinformation and digital forgery.
