Detecting AI-Generated Content with AI

Using LLMs to identify and explain their own text outputs

This research explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be used to detect and explain AI-generated content, addressing a critical security challenge in the era of sophisticated text generation.

Key Findings:

  • LLMs can effectively serve as detectors for distinguishing between human and LLM-generated texts
  • The study examines both binary (human vs. LLM) and ternary classification tasks
  • Detection capabilities are analyzed alongside explanation abilities

Security Implications: As LLMs become more advanced at generating human-like text, the ability to reliably detect AI-generated content becomes crucial for preventing misuse, maintaining content integrity, and establishing trust in digital communications.
