AI content detectors are tools used by businesses to detect content that has been generated using artificial intelligence (AI), which is also known as synthetic media. With synthetic media software and the ability to create content at scale using tools like AI writing assistants, the best AI detectors bring clarity and transparency.
Some AI content detectors produce granular details regarding the authorship of the content, including which model the text was produced with, while others simply inform the user if the text was AI-generated or not. Although this technology is improving, it is not fully accurate and can produce false positives and negatives.
AI content detectors are similar to plagiarism checker software since it checks whether or not the content is produced by the human in question. However, this software focuses on the detection of content generated by AI, as opposed to by other humans.
To qualify for inclusion in the AI Content Detectors category, a product must:
Provide the capability to analyze text or other forms of content to determine if it was generated by AI models
Identify and tag AI-generated content within a given document
Produce a confidence score for how confident the software is that the content is AI-generated
