How to Detect AI Content Using Python

With the increasing prevalence of AI-generated content, verifying the authenticity and originality of digital text has become crucial. In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate AI content detection into your projects using Python.

This guide will walk you through the process of distinguishing between human-written and AI-generated text. By the end, you'll have the knowledge and tools to effectively implement AI content detection. Let’s get started!

‍

What is AI Content Detection?

AI content detection is a technology that identifies and analyzes text to determine if it was generated by artificial intelligence.

By using advanced algorithms and machine learning models, AI content detection systems can evaluate text for patterns, syntax, and other indicators commonly found in AI-generated content.

This technology is widely used for content moderation, ensuring authenticity, and preventing the spread of misleading or manipulated text. It's also valuable for verifying academic work, detecting deepfakes, and identifying automated responses in online conversations.

‍

Applications of AI Content Detection:

• Plagiarism Detection: AI content detection tools help in identifying instances of copied or AI-generated text in academic, professional, and creative works, promoting originality and integrity.
• Brand Protection: Companies use AI content detection to monitor for unauthorized use of their brand, ensuring content associated with their name is legitimate and not generated by bots.
• Fact-Checking: AI content detection can help verify the authenticity of information and detect misinformation or fake news, supporting the spread of accurate and reliable content.

Live Test Models on Eden AI

Eden AI offers live testing on various AI models for different purposes, including AI detection. To test the models, you can use their web interface or interact with them directly through API calls, as described in the examples below.

‍

Implementing AI Content Detection in Python

‍

Install Python's Requests Module

Before you can begin coding, make sure you have the necessary Python module installed. You can install it using pip:

pip install requests

The requests module will allow you to send HTTP requests to Eden AI’s API. It handles API interaction, sending data, and receiving responses.

‍

Example Code

Here’s how you can use Python to interact with the Eden AI API and detect AI-generated content in a text string:

import json
import requests

headers = {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
}

url = "https://api.edenai.run/v2/text/ai_detection"
payload = {
    "providers": "originalityai",
    "text": "Your text here to check for AI content."
}

response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers)

result = json.loads(response.text)
print(result['originalityai']['items'])

1. headers: The authorization header includes your API key, which is required for authentication.
2. url: This is the endpoint for Eden AI’s text detection API.
3. payload: The payload contains the parameters sent to the API. In this case, "providers" specifies which detection model to use (e.g., "originalityai"), and "text" is the content you want to check.
4. requests.post(): Sends a POST request to the Eden AI API with the payload and headers.
5. json.loads(): Converts the API’s response from JSON format into a Python dictionary, allowing easy access to the result.

‍

Interpreting the Results

The results returned from the API will show whether the text is likely AI-generated or not. The result will include scores or a classification indicating the probability that the text was generated by AI. Here is an example output:

{
  "originalityai": {
    "items": [
      {
        "detected": true,
        "score": 0.95,
        "provider": "originalityai"
      }
    ]
  }
}

‍

1. "detected" : Indicates if AI content was detected (true or false).

2. "score" : Represents the probability that the content is AI-generated. A higher score (closer to 1) indicates a stronger likelihood of being AI-generated.
