2026-04-06

Abstract excerpt

<p>This systematic review synthesized empirical evidence on human ability to distinguish generative artificial intelligence content from human‑produced content across text, image, and voice modalities. A structured search of Scopus identified 22,541 records from 2025-2026, of which 1200 were screened and 30 studies were included.
