An AI detector, also known as an AI detection system or AI-powered detection software, is a software application or algorithm that uses artificial intelligence techniques to identify and categorize AI-generated content or behavior. It is designed to differentiate between content or actions generated by humans and those produced by AI systems.
AI detectors are commonly used to combat issues such as AI-generated deepfake videos, text generation or manipulation, AI-powered spam or phishing attacks, and other forms of AI-generated malicious activities. These detectors typically analyze patterns, behaviors, and other defining characteristics of AI-generated content to determine its authenticity or origin.
The development of AI detectors is an ongoing process, as AI systems become more sophisticated and capable of mimicking human-like behaviors and content. Researchers and developers continuously work on improving AI detection systems to stay ahead of evolving AI generation technologies.
