Abstract

The creation of AI-Generated images has been democratised with the proliferation of online and scalable tools. These tools enable users to easily create high quality, fidelity and realistic fake images for multiple use cases and purposes. Detecting, labelling and classifying AI-Generated images is crucial in a wide range of circumstances and applications. This research evaluates the performance of three CNN ML models (EfficientNet-B0, RestNet50 and VGG16) on four public image datasets belonging to three themes: miscellaneous; shoes; and, fruit. The VGG16 model proved to have higher accuracy and performance compared to the other two models.
