Four layers of AI generated image detection

1ML classification

ML models scan uploaded images for AI generation signatures.

Returns classification (AI-generated, deepfake, or authentic) with confidence scores. High-confidence detections forwarded to your rules engine.

Context-aware AI handles edge cases in synthetic content.

Partial edits, AI-enhanced photos, and artistic AI use differ from deceptive deepfakes. The AI Moderator evaluates intent and context before classifying.

FAQs

AI generated image detection, answered

It analyzes user-uploaded images to determine whether they were created or manipulated by AI. Lasso's detection identifies fully synthetic images, deepfake face swaps, and AI-enhanced photos. Each detection includes a confidence score and routes through your platform's moderation pipeline.

Yes. Lasso detects both fully AI-generated images (created from scratch by generative models) and deepfakes (real photos with manipulated faces). These are separate detection categories. An image can be flagged as AI-generated, deepfaked, or both.

Each image analysis returns a confidence score. Clear synthetic images are classified automatically. Ambiguous cases pass through your custom rules, AI moderator, and human review. The layered pipeline maintains accuracy as AI generation techniques evolve, with human decisions continuously training the model.

Lasso's detection models identify synthetic patterns common across generation methods, not just specific tools. This means new generators are caught by the same detection pipeline. Models are updated regularly as generation techniques evolve.

When users upload photos and your platform's trust depends on content authenticity. Common triggers: fake profile reports, synthetic product images, AI-generated misinformation. Lasso integrates AI detection into the same pipeline that handles all image moderation, no separate tool required.
