MILA: An Innovative Approach to Identifying AI-Generated Content Using BERT, CNN, and BiLSTM

AI ethical principles are essential in balancing the social impacts of rapidly developing technology today. The widespread use of AI technologies has heightened the need for ethical and legal regulations in this area. In this process, fundamental principles such as data privacy, accountability, transparency, and human oversight take center stage to enhance the reliability of artificial intelligence and foster social trust. Generative AI refers to machines producing text, images, audio, and video content. However, generative AI brings ethical discussions since it can produce original content. Detecting AI-generated content is becoming increasingly complex due to the ability of AI models to produce increasingly more fluent and meaningful texts. This study created a hybrid MILA model using BERT, CNN, and BiLSTM models to detect AI-generated content. MILA was compared in detail with SVM, XGBoost, CNN, LSTM, and BiLSTM using sentence-level and article-level datasets. Experiments demonstrated that MILA outperformed the compared models, achieving 94.34% accuracy at the sentence-level and 93.62% accuracy at the article-level.
