Although existing methods achieve promising results under in-domain evaluation, their performance often degrades substantially when tested on unseen generators. A key reason is shortcut learning, where detectors rely on domain-specific spurious cues, such as generator-dependent fingerprints and generation styles, instead of intrinsic forgery traces. To address this issue, we propose G2VD, a Generalizable AI-Generated Video Detection framework based on counterfactual intervention and causal disentanglement. First, G2VD introduces a counterfactual intervention pipeline (CFIPipeline) that generates controlled counterfactual samples via variational autoencoders (VAEs), followed by frequency-domain and pixeldomain alignment, thereby encouraging the detector to focus on generator-intrinsic cues. Building on this intervention process, we further design a causal disentanglement classifier consisting of two domain-anchored branches with distinct classification objectives, combined with an HSIC-based independence constraint to encourage the separation of task-relevant cues from domainspecific bias. Across four public datasets, G2VD shows strong average cross-domain performance and consistent gains over matched backbones. On the challenging GenVidBench crossdomain setting, it exceeds 90% accuracy and reaches an AUC close to 0.95. Notably, this performance is obtained using only 10% of the original training data.

INTRODUCTION  \nMODERN AI video generation models, such as Sora [1],  \nStable Video Diffusion [2], CogVideoX [3], HunyuanVideo [4], and Wan [5], have made it increasingly accessible to synthesize highly realistic videos from simple text or image inputs. While these technologies offer substantial creative potential, they also introduce serious security risks, including misinformation dissemination, identity fraud, and public opinion manipulation. As a result, developing reliable AI-generated video detectors with strong cross-domain generalization has become increasingly urgent.  \nExisting detection methods have achieved promising performance under in-domain evaluation, but often degrade substantially on videos produced by unseen generators [6], [7] . Early deepfake detectors mainly focus on facial forgeries by exploiting spatial artifacts [8], [9], blending boundaries [10], reconstruction discrepancies [11], and temporal inconsistencies [12],[13] .

Motivation of G2VD. Conventional training entangles causal forgery cues with non-causal domain biases, yielding a boundary that fits seen generators but fails on unseen ones. Counterfactual intervention approximately preserves real-video domain factors while introducing generator-like reconstruction cues, weakening their spurious correlation with labels. Causal disentanglement further encourages the separation of causal and non-causal representations, producing a boundary that transfers to unseen generators.  \ntors, recent efforts extend detection to arbitrary","cbCainqjqy1tcwO8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainqjqy1tcwO8","pdf",10499598,"English","# Abstract\n# I.
