RAID: A Dataset for Testing the Adversarial Robustness of AI-Generated Image Detectors

원문 초록

AI-generated images (AIGIs) have reached a level of quality at which humans are unable to reliably distinguish them from real images. To counter the inherent risks of fraud and disinformation, their detection is a pressing challenge and an active research topic. While many of the presented methods claim high detection accuracy, they are often evaluated without considering their adversarial robustness. In real-world scenarios, malicious actors can modify AIGIs, e.g., through imperceptible perturbations, to evade detection systems. In this work, we provide a dataset to assess the robustness of AI-generated image detectors. We present RAID (Robust evaluation of AI-generated image Detectors), a benchmark dataset of 216k diverse and transferable adversarial images. The proposed dataset is created starting from images generated by four different text-to-image models (to promote diversity) and optimizing attacks against an ensemble of seven state-of-the-art detectors (to promote transferability). Extensive experiments show that our methodology generates adversarial images that transfer to unseen detectors, degrading the performance of every detector outside the attack ensemble that we evaluate, and provides a practical, worst-case robustness screen: failure on RAID is a strong indicator that a detector is not adversarially robust. We release our dataset at https://huggingface.co/datasets/aimagelab/RAID and evaluation code at https://github.com/pralab/RAID.
