The aim of this work is to explore the potential of pre-trained vision-language models, e.g. Vision Transformers (ViT), enhanced with advanced data augmentation strategies for the detection of AI-generated images. Our approach leverages a fine-tuned ViT model trained on the Defactify-4.0 dataset, which includes images generated by state-of-the-art models such as Stable Diffusion 2.1, Stable Diffusion XL, Stable Diffusion 3, DALL-E 3, and MidJourney. We employ perturbation techniques like flipping, rotation, Gaussian noise injection, and JPEG compression during training to improve model robustness and generalisation. The experimental results demonstrate that our ViT-based pipeline achieves state-of-the-art performance, significantly outperforming competing methods on both validation and test datasets.
