Cross-Prompt Generalization in Detecting AI-Generated Fake News Using Interpretable Linguistic Features
arXiv:2606.04199v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing use of large language models has raised concerns about the spread of AI-generated fake news, particularly under varying prompting strategies. Most existing detection models are trained and evaluated under a single generation setting, leaving their ability to generalize across unseen prompts unclear. In this study, we investigate cross-prompt generalization in fake news detection using three datasets of AI-generated articles produced under distinct prompts, combined with real news articles. We extract interpretable linguistic feat
The rapid advancement and widespread deployment of large language models are making the problem of AI-generated fake news increasingly prevalent and sophisticated, necessitating robust detection methods.
This research addresses a critical vulnerability in information integrity by exploring how effectively AI-generated fake news can be detected across various generative prompts, a key factor in its real-world spread.
The understanding of cross-prompt generalization for AI-fake news detection will improve, potentially leading to more resilient and generalizable detection models that can counter evolving AI generation techniques.

Improved detection capabilities will help mitigate the immediate impact of AI-generated fake news campaigns.
The necessity for more sophisticated, adaptive detection models will drive further innovation in AI security and trust.
Long-term, this could contribute to public trust in digital information, even as AI content creation becomes ubiquitous, by establishing reliable verification mechanisms.
