New benchmark reveals AI image detectors struggle with documents

Researchers have developed a new benchmark, AIGDoc-Pilot, to evaluate the detection of AI-generated images specifically within documents. Existing AI-generated image detectors perform poorly on document images, with a performance drop of over 7% in mean AUC. The study identified that AI-generated document images often exhibit spatial inconsistency and that text density influences detection accuracy, with text-dense regions providing stronger discriminative evidence. A larger dataset, AIGDoc, was created using diverse real-world and AI-generated documents to address these limitations, showing that document-specific training can improve detection reliability. AI

IMPACT Highlights a critical gap in AI-generated content detection, potentially impacting the security and authenticity of digital documents.

    Beyond Natural Images: Rethinking AI-Generated Image Detection in Documents

    arXiv:2609.14352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-generated image detection has attracted increasing attention, but existing evaluations mainly focus on natural images, leaving AI-generated document images largely underexplored. This omission is concerning because documents ofte…
