Our project focused on making a computer program better at telling the difference between real photos and fake ones made by AI. We took an existing program and changed it to make it much more accurate. Now, it can correctly identify fake images about 95% of the time, which is a big improvement from its original 70% accuracy.
With AI now able to create very convincing fake images quickly (Khadatkar, 2024), our work is important for spotting these fakes. 1 Our research paper explains how we made these improvements using a special kind of computer learning. This work can help address the challenges that come with the rise of AI-generated images.
