Abstract - AI's rapid progress in image creation has made distinguishing real from fake images increasingly difficult. ways like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and prolixity- grounded models can now produce synthetic images that are nearly indistinguishable from real bones, raising serious enterprises in areas where image authenticity is critical similar as journalism and forensic analysis. This advancement, while remarkable, presents critical challenges in surrounds where vindicating image authenticity is essential similar as journalism, digital forensics, and scientific attestation. The consequences of undetected synthetic images can lead to misinformation, public confusion, and the corrosion of trust in digital media.
It learns subtle inconsistencies in fake illustrations similar as unnatural textures or defective shapes that are frequently inappreciable to mortal spectators but sensible by deep neural networks. Integrated with Grad- CAM, the model provides visual explanations for its groups, enhancing interpretability. Primary results demonstrate over 95 bracket delicacy, and a stoner-friendly interface erected using Beaker ensures real- time usability. CIFAKE emerges as a robust result to fight visual misinformation in high- stakes digital surroundings. To address these enterprises, this study introduces a deep literacy- grounded frame named CIFAKE — Bracket and resolvable Identification of FAKE images. The primary ideal of this system is twofold first, to directly distinguish between genuine and AI- generated images; and second, to offer interpretability in its prognostications, thereby fostering trust and translucency. At the core of this frame is the ResNet50 armature, a convolutional neural network known for its high delicacy and strong point birth capabilities.
