An AI detector is a technology or program designed to detect and identify artificial intelligence (AI) systems. It analyzes the behavior, patterns, inputs, and outputs of a system to determine if it is an AI and sometimes to classify its type or purpose.
AI detectors are typically used in the context of cybersecurity and preventing malicious use of AI. Some AI systems, known as AI bots or AI-generated content, can be used to spread disinformation, automate cyberattacks, or engage in other harmful activities. AI detectors help distinguish between genuine human behavior and AI-generated behavior, therefore allowing for better security and protection against AI-related threats.
