CLIP Embeddings for AI-Generated Image Detection: A Few-Shot Study with Lightweight Classifier

The paper explores whether CLIP embeddings can detect AI-generated images by using a frozen CLIP model to extract visual embeddings and training lightweight classifiers on top. On the CIFAKE benchmark, the approach achieves 95% accuracy without language reasoning, and 85% accuracy after few-shot adaptation with 20% of the data. Certain image types, such as wide-angle photographs and oil paintings, remain challenging, highlighting unexplored difficulties in AI-generated image classification.

Can Multimodal Large Language Models Generate and Detect Multimodal Social Media Fake News?

The paper investigates whether multimodal large language models (MLLMs) can generate and detect realistic multimodal fake news on social media. Using a multi‑agent framework—comprising a story agent, an image agent, and a critic agent—the authors produced over 9,000 paired multimodal news posts across science, health, and entertainment domains. They benchmarked 16 open‑ and closed‑source MLLMs for automated detection and found that most models fall far short of human accuracy, especially in identifying image authenticity, highlighting the need for stronger defenses against social media fake news.
