The rise of AI-generated content has introduced challenges in distinguishing machine-generated text from human-written text, particularly in low-resource languages. The identification of artificial intelligence (AI)-based reviews is of significant importance to preserve trust and authenticity on online platforms. The Shared Task on Detecting AI-Generated Product Reviews in Dravidian languages deals with the task of detecting AI-generated and human-written reviews in Tamil and Malayalam. To solve this problem, we specifically fine-tuned mBERT for binary classification. Our system achieved 10th place in Tamil with a macro F1-score of 0.90 and 28th place in Malayalam with a macro F1-score of 0.68, as reported by the NAACL 2025 organizers. The findings demonstrate the complexity involved in the separation of AI-derived text from human-authored writing, with a call for continued advances in detection methods.
