In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has led to the creation of highly realistic AI-generated faces. These synthetic images, often produced by generative adversarial networks (GANs), are virtually indistinguishable from real photographs to the naked eye. While this technology holds promise for various creative and practical applications, it also poses significant challenges. The ability to detect AI-generated faces is crucial due to the potential misuse of such technology in creating deepfakes, spreading disinformation, and perpetrating identity fraud. Detecting AI-generated faces is not only a matter of technological advancement but also a critical aspect of maintaining trust, security, and authenticity in digital interactions.

The objective of this project is to comprehensively explore the methods and technologies used to detect AI-generated faces and to understand their relevance and applications in addressing modern challenges in digital security and media integrity. The project will be structured around the following steps:

Dataset Information
The dataset used in this project consists of real and AI-generated face images. The real face images were sourced from publicly available dataset such as Flickr-Faces-HQ Dataset(FFH), which contains over 70,000 images. The AI-generated face images were created using state-of-the-art generative models like StyleGAN used in ThisPersonDoesNotExist Dataset. This diverse dataset provides a solid foundation for training and evaluating our detection model.
