Geofact Check Viral videos were analyzed to identify multiple visual inconsistencies that clearly indicate that they were created using AI. For example, Sharif's hand appears to have more than five fingers, but his face is blurry and distorted – a common sign of AI manipulation.
Anees Qureshi, open source intelligence analyst for All Everything (B4A) in Islamabad, analyzed the video using Attestiv, a US-based AI content and digital forensics platform. The tool generated a tamper score of 61, making sure the content was not authentic.
