AI-Generated Image Recognition via Fusion of CNNs and Vision Transformers

Xuan-Bach Mai, Hoang-Minh Nguyen-Huu, Quoc-Nghia Nguyen, Hoang-Tung Vu, Minh-Triet Tran, Trung-Nghia Le

Recent advancements in synthetic data technology have opened a new era where images of remarkable quality are generated, blurring the lines between real-life images and those produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This evolution poses a significant challenge to ensuring the reliability and authenticity of data, underscoring the need for robust detection methods. In this paper, we present a robust approach aimed at addressing these pressing concerns. Our methodology revolves around leveraging fusion strategies, combining the strengths of multiple detection methods for identifying AI-generated images. Through extensive experimentation on the CIFAKE dataset, our model showcases remarkable performance, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 97.32%. This accomplishment underscores the efficacy of our approach in accurately distinguishing between AI-generated images and real-life images, thus contributing to the advancement of data authentication techniques amidst the proliferation of synthetic data.
