DRIFT: From Robustness Gaps to Invariance Manifolds for AI-Generated Image Detection
Researchers have developed a new method called DRIFT for detecting AI-generated images, which adapts to unseen image generators. This approach formulates detection as learning an invariance manifold of real images using one-class supervision. DRIFT utilizes lightweight projection heads to separate image representation space into robust and fragile subspaces, enabling detection by testing for violations of learned invariances. AI
