About this tutorial

The rapid progress of generative AI and the explosive popularity of short-form video platforms (e.g., TikTok, YouTube Shorts) have made it easier than ever to create and spread vivid, persuasive misinformation videos. Detecting and preventing such content has become a critical challenge for the health of online multimedia ecosystems.

This half-day tutorial systematically covers:

  • Characterization of both AI-generated and human-edited misinformation videos.
  • Detection approaches tailored for fully generated, manipulated and human-edited videos.
  • Prevention strategies that apply to both the creation and spreading phases.

We conclude with open challenges and future research directions. The tutorial is designed for attendees with basic knowledge of multimedia forensics and generative AI.
