DALL-E-2 AI-Generated Images of Infants and Toddlers are Distinguishable from Real Photos

2026-02-05

Abstract excerpt

<p>Images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming more realistic, with AI-generated images of adult faces indistinguishable from human faces. Can the same be said for AI-generated images of young children? We compared 76 participants’ discrimination of 72 images representing three types of stimuli: real photos, randomly selected AI images, and AI images curated with human oversight. Real photos were...
