Accuracy & benchmarks

How accurate is It’s AI for English texts?

Independent benchmarks show how well It’s AI detects AI-written text — and how often it falsely flags authentic human writing.

It’s AI’s performance is supported by published research and independent third-party benchmarking. Our MGTD results are reported in a peer-reviewed benchmark study, while our RAID result is listed on the official public leaderboard. Both evaluations measure English-language detection.

MGTD · ICAIE 2025

The most accurate AI detector according to MGTD

MGTD aggregates 15 benchmark datasets and nearly 2 million test samples into a direct comparison of leading AI detectors. It’s AI achieved the highest ROC-AUC, ahead of GPTZero, Originality AI, ZeroGPT and other evaluated systems.

Methodology

We report dataset-specific metrics rather than averaging benchmarks that measure different tasks.

Evaluation rules

Language-specific evaluations use the production detector configuration where applicable. Third-party benchmark and leaderboard results follow the benchmark’s published protocol.

Minimum supported text length

Human-writing tests apply It’s AI’s product minimum of 200 characters when filtering is required, so texts the application itself would reject do not distort the reported false positive rate.

Metric definitions

Accuracy is the proportion of correct classifications on datasets containing both human and AI texts. The false positive rate (FPR) measures how often authentic human text is incorrectly flagged as AI. ROC-AUC measures how well the detector distinguishes the two classes across decision thresholds.
