The highest accuracy for AI-generated media detection
Source: Study by the University of Rochester and the University of Kansas
This external research study employed 80,000 images, encompassing both real images and images synthesized by various text-to-image generators. These images were new and thus unknown to the study participants.
The research paper is available here.
Works across video generators.
Our Automated AI-generated video detection tool can help you determine the provenance and authenticity of videos.
We help identify videos across the most popular video generators such as:
Sora
Wan
Veo
Kling
Runway
MidJourneyThe detection is based on the pixel content of the video, and therefore works even for videos where meta-data has been stripped and where no watermark is available.
Watermarks and meta-data are not always integrated into AI-generated videos. When users upload a video to popular apps or platforms, the meta-data is automatically stripped.
The Sora, Wan, Veo, Kling, Runway, and MidJourney trademarks and logos are the property of their respective trademark holders. They are not affiliated with Sightengine.
Accessible through a simple drag-and-drop interface...
Get instant access to a detailed analysis of your media. This is perfect for occasional use, and to easily create a summary you can screenshot and share.
... and accessible through an API for large-scale use.
Our API was designed by developers for developers. We have worked hard to make it simple and quick to integrate with.
curl -X POST 'https://api.sightengine.com/1.0/video/check-sync.json' \
-F 'media=@/path/to/video.mp4' \
-F 'models=genai' \
-F 'api_user={api_user}' -F 'api_secret={api_secret}'
Scale to the sky. Easily moderate your content as your business grows from a couple to billions of items per month.
Absolute privacy. No human reviewers in the loop. Your content stays private. Just the way your users expect it to be.
Super-human accuracy.
Our tests show that humans struggle with AI video detection, while models specifically trained to detect AI videos vastly outperform human performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can it be possible to find out if an image or video is AI-generated?
AI-generated media often contains subtle artifacts and inconsistencies that can be detected by specialized tools. These tools identify patterns reminiscent of synthetic images, helping distinguish them from real photos.
Can AI media detectors replace human judgment?
While the AI media detector provides real-time insights, it should never be used as a substitute for human judgment. Different detectors can have a varying levels of accuracy. It is essential to use your own discretion when reviewing their findings.
What are the limitations of AI media detectors?
AI media detectors can produce inaccurate results: false positives or false negatives. This detector may also struggle with content produced by AI media generators it has never encountered before, such as newly released ones. In some cases, images may also have been heavily edited in order to try to evade detection.
What does the provided score mean?
The score indicates the API's confidence in its prediction. A higher score suggests a greater likelihood that the content is AI-generated or AI-edited, while a lower score indicates the opposite. Even if the API returns a very high or very low score, such as 99% or 1%, it is important to consider the context and use human judgment in the final assessment.
How do you take into account new AI media generators?
We frequently test the API against new media generators as they enter the market, and take them into account to update the detectors to recognize them. Please note there usually is a brief window between the release of a new generator and its full integration into our system.
Results can be inaccurate. Rely on your own judgment and verify with additional context.
