“The opacity of the flag changes, and sometimes people can see the color of the flag “through” (e.g. 0:02)” Report by Marco Postiglione, a Postdoctoral Northwestern University researchers, and vs. subramanian, a Professor Computer Science from the same university.

An analysis report from Northwestern University's global online Deepfake Detection System (GODDS) states, “The poor quality of the video makes it difficult to evaluate the outstanding features of media, such as faces and signs. Decreased video quality can be used as a tactic to obscure video operations.”
Furthermore, according to the same report, the “Veo” watermark appears in the bottom right corner of the video. VEO is AI generation software Google. Text and images can be generated using input Artificial video.
The report also includes analysis using 22 deep-fark detection algorithms. 8 of the 22 prediction models state that the video is likely to be fake with a chance that it exceeds 0.5 inches. This means that “the accuracy of these models in the fake class ranges from 0.65 to 0.99”, meaning they are very confident in their predictions.
The remaining 14 predictive models assigned a probability less than 0.5 due to the video being fake. This means that the video is more likely to be authentic. This report noted that these models have poor accuracy for actual classes between 0.22 and 0.48.
This analysis means that there is a very high chance that this video will be generated by AI.
The complete analysis image is shown below.

The eight more reliable models assigned a higher probability concluded that Gods' report is likely to have content fake and be generated by AI. “We believe this video is likely to be generated via artificial intelligence,” the report said.
Therefore, based on independent analysis and the results of Godds report, Socchi fact check ConclusionWe conclude that the video is likely to be generated.
