IndicDetect: Evaluating Cross-Lingual LLM-Generated Text Detection for Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil

IndicDetect is a benchmark for evaluating AI‑generated text detection in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. It pairs curated human‑written texts with LLM‑generated counterparts across multiple domains and generators, testing detectors under domain shift, generator shift, and adversarial perturbation. The study shows that supervised neural detectors fail to generalize to unseen generators and attacks, with Hindi experiencing the greatest degradation, indicating that robustness—not peak accuracy—is the main weakness in Indic language detectors.
