As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into education, publishing, and digital communications, reliably detecting AI-generated content — especially in underrepresented languages like Arabic — has become crucial. 

A major study, “The Arabic AI Fingerprint: Stylometric Analysis and Detection of Large Language Models Text,” rigorously tested the performance of state-of-the-art AI content detectors across a range of Arabic datasets. 

Here’s how Originality.ai’s multilingual AI detector stacked up.

Key Findings (TL;DR)

  • Originality.ai AI Detector achieved near-perfect accuracy and F1-score in detecting AI-generated Arabic academic abstracts and OpenAI-generated social media content.
  • Originality.ai delivered consistent, high-precision results with virtually no false positives on AI-generated text.
  • Originality.ai outperformed (if not matched) the research’s best-in-class, fine-tuned multilingual models across most major metrics.

Study Details:

The study, conducted by researchers at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, set out to answer a pressing question: Can current AI detectors distinguish between human-written and AI-generated Arabic text?

It evaluated content from both academic and social media sources, generated by leading large language models (LLMs), using a suite of stylometric and machine learning methods.

AI Detection Tools Evaluated:

Dataset:

  • Academic Abstracts: Curated from the Algerian Scientific Journals Platform (ASJP), with human-written abstracts and AI-generated variants (title-only, content-aware, polished).
  • Social Media Reviews: Combined from two major datasets: Book Reviews in Arabic (BRAD) and Hotel Arabic Reviews Dataset (HARD), with both original posts and AI-polished versions

Evaluation Criteria

The study and our benchmark used standard metrics for evaluating AI detection accuracy:

  • Accuracy (overall correct classifications)
  • Precision (AI detections that were truly AI)
  • Recall (AI samples correctly flagged)
  • F1-Score (balance of precision and recall)
  • False Positive Rate (FPR) (humans wrongly flagged as AI)

All metrics were calculated separately for each text source (Human, ALLaM, Jais, LLaMA, OpenAI).

Why Only FPR for Human Dataset?

In the research paper, the authors trained their detector as a multi-class classifier: for each input text, the model predicts whether it was written by a human or by one of the AI models (ALLaM, Jais, Llama, OpenAI).

This allows them to calculate per-class Precision, Recall, and F1-score for each label — including “Human” — since the classifier can make various types of mistakes (e.g., calling a human text “ALLaM” or “Jais”).

However, for fair comparison with Originality.ai (which only distinguishes “AI” vs “Human”), it makes sense to simplify the evaluation for human data:

  • Precision, Recall, and F1 are not directly meaningful in the human-only scenario because all examples are human; you can only assess whether the detector ever mislabels a human text as AI.
  • Therefore, we report only FPR (False Positive Rate): The percentage of human texts that were wrongly flagged as anything other than “Human” (i.e., any AI class).

Definition: FPR (False Positive Rate) – For the human dataset, if the model predicts any label other than “Human” for a sample, it is counted as a false positive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fill out the entire form?

No, that’s one of the benefits, only fill out the areas which you think will be relevant to the prompts you require.

Why is the English so poor for some prompts?

When making the tool we had to make each prompt as general as possible to be able to include every kind of input. Not to worry though ChatGPT is smart and will still understand the prompt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it important to check for plagiarism?

Tools for conducting a plagiarism check between two documents online are important as it helps to ensure the originality and authenticity of written work. Plagiarism undermines the value of professional and educational institutions, as well as the integrity of the authors who write articles. By checking for plagiarism, you can ensure the work that you produce is original or properly attributed to the original author. This helps prevent the distribution of copied and misrepresented information.

What is Text Comparison?

Text comparison is the process of taking two or more pieces of text and comparing them to see if there are any similarities, differences and/or plagiarism. The objective of a text comparison is to see if one of the texts has been copied or paraphrased from another text. This text compare tool for plagiarism check between two documents has been built to help you streamline that process by finding the discrepancies with ease.

How do Text Comparison Tools Work?

Text comparison tools work by analyzing and comparing the contents of two or more text documents to find similarities and differences between them. This is typically done by breaking the texts down into smaller units such as sentences or phrases, and then calculating a similarity score based on the number of identical or nearly identical units. The comparison may be based on the exact wording of the text, or it may take into account synonyms and other variations in language. The results of the comparison are usually presented in the form of a report or visual representation, highlighting the similarities and differences between the texts.

String comparison is a fundamental operation in text comparison tools that involves comparing two sequences of characters to determine if they are identical or not. This comparison can be done at the character level or at a higher level, such as the word or sentence level.

The most basic form of string comparison is the equality test, where the two strings are compared character by character and a Boolean result indicating whether they are equal or not is returned. More sophisticated string comparison algorithms use heuristics and statistical models to determine the similarity between two strings, even if they are not exactly the same. These algorithms often use techniques such as edit distance, which measures the minimum number of operations (such as insertions, deletions, and substitutions) required to transform one string into another.

Another common technique for string comparison is n-gram analysis, where the strings are divided into overlapping sequences of characters (n-grams) and the frequency of each n-gram is compared between the two strings. This allows for a more nuanced comparison that takes into account partial similarities, rather than just exact matches.

String comparison is a crucial component of text comparison tools, as it forms the basis for determining the similarities and differences between texts. The results of the string comparison can then be used to generate a report or visual representation of the similarities and differences between the texts.

What is Syntax Highlighting?

Syntax highlighting is a feature of text editors and integrated development environments (IDEs) that helps to visually distinguish different elements of a code or markup language. It does this by coloring different elements of the code, such as keywords, variables, functions, and operators, based on a predefined set of rules.

The purpose of syntax highlighting is to make the code easier to read and understand, by drawing attention to the different elements and their structure. For example, keywords may be colored in a different hue to emphasize their importance, while comments or strings may be colored differently to distinguish them from the code itself. This helps to make the code more readable, reducing the cognitive load of the reader and making it easier to identify potential syntax errors.
