dc.description.abstractAI-generated images have amplified the need for effective methods to distinguish between real and synthetic visuals. This underscores the need to develop new approaches to ensure data integrity and combat misinformation. While the existing literature predominantly focuses on Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)-based synthetic images, researchers have largely overlooked the detection of diffusionbased models. This study fills this gap by demonstrating the potential of convolutional block attention module (CBAM)-enhanced convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for the effective detection of diffusionbased synthetic images. In this study, we use CNNs enhanced with the CBAM to propose a novel approach for detecting synthetic images. The CBAM-enhanced model, trained on the CIFAKE dataset, achieved a remarkable accuracy of97.38% in detecting synthetic images. We integrate pre-trained CNN architectures, such as ResNet50 and DenseNet121, with a CBAM attention mechanism, which enhances performance by focusing on salient spatial and channel information. This approach presents a model that significantly enhances the detection capabilities for distinguishing fake images. Ourfindings contribute to the field of deepfake detection by providing a robust solution for automated digital image vetting, with implications for AI ethics, security, and broader societal discourse.
