How AI-Generated Image Detection Works: Techniques and Signals Detecting whether an image is synthetic or human-made relies on a combination of *forensic analysis*, pattern recognition, and machine learning. Modern generative models—such as diffusion models and generative adversarial networks (GANs)—produce images with high fidelity, but they often leave subtle artifacts that can be identified by specialized …
