Abstract

The NIST Generative AI (GenAI) Text Challenge is an evaluation program designed to probe the capabilities and limitations of generative AI models from three complementary perspectives: Generator, Prompter, and Discriminator. The challenge will focus on two core aspects: indistinguishability from human writing and the believability of generated narratives. In the Generator task, participants are to build models that produce text that is indistinguishable from human-authored passages. In the Prompter task, participants craft prompts that elicit two types of narratives from a generator: (a) highly accurate narratives and (b) misleading, but persuasive, narratives. In the Discriminator task, participants develop detectors that not only help decide whether a passage is AI-generated or human-written, but also output a score that is a prediction of how believable the content will be to a lay audience. Participation is open to all individuals and organizations that agree to follow the established rules and procedures.
