Proofig AI’s AI-generated image detection finds AI-generated images in scientific manuscripts as part of its image integrity platform, which also checks for duplication and manipulation. The user uploads a PDF or DOCX manuscript, Proofig scans all the images, the user reviews the flagged items with forensic tools such as colour maps, Emboss and histogram equalisation, and a PDF report can be downloaded. The categories covered are microscopy, histology, cell plates, animal imaging, medical scans, and western blots and gels. On the Enterprise plan, journals can screen submissions automatically through an Editorial Manager integration or a REST API.
