IVT-Guard: All-in-One Reasoning Model for AI-Generated Content Detection

Counts differ because each database indexes a different set of publications. We treat OpenAlex as the canonical count; Google Scholar is not shown (no API, and crawling it violates its ToS).

The rapid proliferation of highly realistic AI-Generated Content (AIGC) necessitates robust and interpretable detection mechanisms. However, existing detectors are predominantly confined to single modalities and provide binary outputs without reasoning. While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) present a promising solution, their development is constrained by the scarcity of multimodal reasoning data and the reasoning-detection optimization dilemma, where explicit reasoning supervision can compromise detection accuracy. To this end, we introduce IVT-Set, a comprehensive dataset comprising over 152K diverse image, video, and text samples equipped with multi-granularity Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning trajectories. Based on it, we propose IVT-Guard, a pioneering framework for unified and interpretable AIGC detection across image, video, and text modalities. Furthermore, to overcome the aforementioned optimization dilemma, we design a novel three-stage training paradigm: Artifact-Aware Pre-training, Artifact-to-Evidence Supervised Fine-Tuning via artifact-aware injection, and Evidence-Verdict Consistency Group Relative Policy Optimization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that IVT-Guard achieves state-of-the-art detection performance across in-domain, out-of-domain, and cross-dataset settings while delivering faithful reasoning. Code and data will be released.
