What is artificial intelligence-generated content detection?
Definition
Artificial intelligence-generated content detection uses statistical patterns, provenance signals, watermarks, metadata, or comparisons with known generation methods. Detector results are usually probabilistic and can degrade when content is edited, translated, compressed, paraphrased, or produced by a model outside the detector's training distribution.
Detection should not be treated as conclusive evidence about a person's conduct. High-stakes decisions need transparent thresholds, corroborating evidence, an appeal process, and awareness of false positives, especially for multilingual writers and people whose style differs from the detector's reference data.
