Decoding Reality: Spotting AI-Generated Videos

Equipping you with the skills to distinguish between authentic and artificial videos in the age of AI.

The New Reality: Seeing Isn't Believing

    Evolving Trust

    Historically, video has been considered undeniable proof. This assumption is no longer safe, as technology can manipulate videos.

    The 1995 Fallacy

    In 1995, video evidence was almost irrefutable. The technological capabilities to create convincing fakes simply did not exist.

    2025: A New Era

    Today, with rapidly advancing AI, videos can be easily manipulated. It requires a new level of skepticism and media literacy.

    Generational Divide

    Older generations, who grew up trusting video, may be more susceptible to AI-generated fakes. Awareness is crucial across all age groups.

    The Ultimate Challenge

    The presentation aims to equip viewers with the tools and knowledge to confidently distinguish between real and fake AI-generated videos.

    Rule #1: Check the Upload Date

      Pre-2023 Guarantee

      If a video was uploaded before 2023, it's highly unlikely to be AI-generated. This technology was in its infancy before then.

      The 2023 Experiment

      Early AI video experiments in 2023 were often rudimentary and easily detectable. Modern AI began making it easier to generate videos.

      Boston Dynamics Example

      Videos of Boston Dynamics robots uploaded in 2018 are confirmed not AI-generated due to the upload date.

      Recent Uploads: Caution

      Videos uploaded in 2025, for example, from a car show, may potentially be AI-generated and require further investigation.

      First Line of Defence

      Checking the upload date is your first and simplest line of defense against deceptive AI-generated content online.

      Rule #2: Length Matters

        Costly Creations

        Generating AI videos is expensive, which means that most AI-generated videos will be kept short to minimize costs.

        Short Snippets

        AI-generated videos typically are limited to just a few seconds. Videos often between 5 to 1, and sometimes longer.

        The Rationale

        Generating longer videos requires more processing power, which equates to higher costs for the creator of the video.

        Suspiciously Short

        If you encounter a very short video, this is a clue to look closely at the contents to potentially see if it's an AI video.

        Analyze Further

        Short videos are not automatically fake, but their length warrants extra scrutiny during the verification process to determine authenticity.

        Rule #3: Analyze, Analyze, Analyze!

          Subtle Glitches

          Focus on the subtleties in the video, such as the movement of eyes and hands, as AI often struggles with these finer details.

          Lighting Oddities

          Pay attention to the lighting and shadows, as AI might render these unnaturally, creating inconsistencies that don't occur in real life.

          Background Issues

          Check the backgrounds and the reflections, as AI can struggle with detail and perspective, leading to distorted scenes.

          Audio Discrepancies

          Listen carefully for unnatural audio, robotic voices, or a lack of synchronization between speech and lip movements.

          Imperfections Welcome

          Genuine videos often have small imperfections; excessive perfection is a sign to investigate further.

          Beyond Visuals: The Context Matters

            Source Credibility

            Evaluate the source of the video. Is it a reputable news organization, or an anonymous account with questionable motives?

            Check for Bias

            Consider the potential biases of the video's creator. Is the video designed to persuade, manipulate, or misinform?

            Seek Expert Analysis

            If a video appears particularly sophisticated or controversial, consult experts or fact-checking websites for their analysis.

            Cross-Reference

            See if the video is reported by other sources. If only one obscure channel reports it, that could be a red flag.

            Trust Your Gut

            If something feels off about a video, trust your instincts. Do not share it without completing steps mentioned.
