The paper evaluates twenty deepfake detectors against ten recent generators, finding that accuracy has dropped from 99.5% to 76% and that adversarial perturbations can reduce detector performance to below 2%. It proposes a new detection paradigm that certifies authenticity only when a faithful reconstruction by a known generator is impossible, and shows that this calibrated detector can limit false certifications to at most 1% while remaining robust to bounded‑perturbation attacks. The study also highlights the erosion of post‑hoc verifiability, noting that newer generators can reproduce a larger fraction of previously unreplicable images.

The paper introduces CertDW, a certified dataset watermark and ownership verification method that remains reliable even under malicious perturbations. By leveraging conformal prediction, it defines two statistical measures—principal probability (PP) and watermark robustness (WR)—to evaluate model stability on benign versus watermarked samples. The authors derive certification conditions linking WR to a PP-based threshold and provide a high‑probability bound on false positives, enabling robust ownership verification when a suspicious model’s WR exceeds the PP values of benign models.

arXiv:2608. 12876v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detecting AI-generated images is only half the task: a deployed detector must also justify its verdict, yet existing detectors inherit three failure modes from their training data: real and fake images collected from different sources invite provenance shortcuts, supervised explanation corpora teach templated rationales, and a static forgery corpus leaves the decision boundary standing still while generators keep moving.

arXiv:2607. 12354v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we challenge the prevailing view that information dependency (including rote memorization) drives training data exposure to image reconstruction attacks.
