Abstract

As AI-generated images flood our digital landscape, the ability to attribute these creations to specific generators has become crucial for maintaining digital integrity and trust. Deep Media AI, a trailblazer in Deepfake Detection, now turns its expertise to the challenge of GenAI Image Generator Attribution.

We are proud to introduce our GenAI Image Generator Attribution Lab Benchmark Dataset, a powerful new tool in the fight against digital misinformation and fraud.

Key Features:

  • 8,000 high-fidelity images, representing the most comprehensive and current collection of AI-generated content for attribution research

  • Equal distribution across four leading generators: DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and Adobe, providing a balanced representation of current market leaders

    • Meticulously curated to represent a wide range of subjects, styles, and complexities, mirroring real-world use cases

    • Rigorous validation process, ensuring the integrity and accuracy of generator labels

    • Advanced metadata and embeddings provided for each image, facilitating cutting-edge machine learning approaches

This dataset is more than a research tool; it's a catalyst for innovation in the rapidly evolving field of AI-generated content attribution. As the line between human and AI-created content blurs, the ability to accurately identify the source of an image becomes paramount for industries ranging from journalism and law enforcement to digital rights management and social media moderation.

We call upon researchers, academic institutions, and industry leaders to harness this dataset in developing state-of-the-art attribution models. By fostering collaboration between academia and industry, we aim to create a safer, more transparent digital ecosystem where the provenance of visual content can be reliably determined.

Join us at the forefront of AI security and digital forensics. The future of online trust and accountability starts here.

On the Horizon: Expanding our benchmark to include emerging generators and modalities. As the generative AI landscape evolves, so does our commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

Results

Our image classification model demonstrates strong performance in distinguishing between images generated by different AI models (DALLE, MidJourney, StableDiffusion, and Adobe Firefly) and potentially real images. The overall accuracy of 90.54% indicates that the model correctly classifies more than 9 out of 10 images, which is a robust result in the complex domain of AI-generated image detection.


Classification Report:
                 precision    recall  f1-score   support
          DALLE       0.92      0.91      0.92      2000
     MidJourney       0.96      0.95      0.95      2000
StableDiffusion       0.90      0.92      0.91      2000
  Adobe_Firefly       0.84      0.84      0.84      2000
      accuracy                           0.91      8000
      macro avg       0.91      0.91      0.91      8000
   weighted avg       0.91      0.91      0.91      8000

Examining the confusion matrix and classification report reveals several key insights:

  1. Overall Performance: The model achieves high precision and recall across all classes, with a macro average F1-score of 0.91. This balanced performance suggests that the model is equally capable of identifying images from different generators without significant bias towards any particular class.

  2. Generator-Specific Performance:

    • MidJourney: The model performs exceptionally well in identifying MidJourney images, with the highest precision (0.96) and recall (0.95) among all classes. This suggests that MidJourney-generated images have distinctive features that our model can consistently recognize.

    • DALLE: Close behind MidJourney, DALLE images are also well-identified with high precision (0.92) and recall (0.91). The model shows strong capability in distinguishing DALLE-generated content.

    • StableDiffusion: The model demonstrates good performance for StableDiffusion images, with a precision of 0.90 and recall of 0.92. While slightly lower than DALLE and MidJourney, these results are still impressive.

    • Adobe Firefly: The model's performance on Adobe Firefly images, while good (precision and recall both at 0.84), is noticeably lower compared to the other generators. This suggests that Adobe Firefly images may share more similarities with images from other generators or potentially with real images, making them more challenging to classify accurately.

  3. Misclassifications: The confusion matrix shows that the most common misclassifications occur between StableDiffusion and Adobe Firefly, with 167 StableDiffusion images misclassified as Adobe Firefly and 133 Adobe Firefly images misclassified as StableDiffusion. This indicates a higher degree of similarity between the outputs of these two generators.

These results are particularly impressive given the challenging nature of distinguishing between different AI-generated images. The high accuracy and balanced performance across multiple generators demonstrate the model's robustness and potential for real-world applications in detecting and classifying AI-generated content.

Areas for Improvement:

  1. Adobe Firefly Detection: Given the lower performance on Adobe Firefly images, future work should focus on identifying unique characteristics of these images to improve classification accuracy. This may involve fine-tuning the model with a larger dataset of Adobe Firefly images or exploring additional features that could help distinguish them from other generators.

  2. Reducing StableDiffusion and Adobe Firefly Confusion: The model shows higher confusion between these two generators. Further analysis of the misclassified images could reveal common patterns or features that lead to this confusion, allowing for targeted improvements in the model's ability to distinguish between these two generators.

  3. Expanding Generator Coverage: While the current model performs well on four major image generators, expanding the model to recognize images from additional AI generators would increase its utility and robustness in real-world scenarios.

  4. Real vs. AI-Generated Distinction: Although not explicitly mentioned in the provided metrics, improving the model's ability to distinguish between real and AI-generated images across all generators remains a crucial area for ongoing research and development.

  5. Adversarial Testing: To further validate the model's robustness, it would be beneficial to test it against adversarial examples or images intentionally designed to fool the classifier. This could uncover potential vulnerabilities and guide further improvements in the model's resilience.

In conclusion, our model demonstrates strong performance in classifying AI-generated images from different generators, with particularly impressive results for MidJourney and DALLE images. The areas identified for improvement, especially regarding Adobe Firefly detection and reducing confusion with StableDiffusion, provide clear directions for future enhancements to the model's capabilities.
