The rapid advancement of AI-generated videos poses increasing security risks and calls for robust detectors with strong cross-domain generalization. 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 pixel-domain 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 domain-specific bias. Across four public datasets, G2VD shows strong average cross-domain performance and consistent gains over matched backbones. On the challenging GenVidBench cross-domain 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.

Recent advances in video multimodal models have significantly improved VideoQA performance. However, these systems often rely on spurious statistical correlations rather than answer-relevant causal evidence, resulting in unfaithful and brittle reasoning, especially in complex real-world scenarios. Existing methods either rely on cross-modality correlations, costly curated training resources, or insufficient causal assumptions and constraints, and typically operate at the time-interval level. As a result, they fail to explicitly disentangle causal visual cues from confounders and provide limited fine-grained evidence localization. To address this issue, we propose a Counterfactual Reasoning framework for fine-grained Evidence Disentanglement (CREDiT). CREDiT formulates the VideoQA process using a structural causal model and learns cross-modality representations that are explicitly decomposed into causal and non-causal components under independence and minimality constraints. To facilitate faithful disentanglement, we introduce feature-level causal interventions and construct counterfactual inputs that approximate causal effects while suppressing non-causal correlations. Extensive experiments on NExT-GQA, SportsQA, and SPORTU-video demonstrate that CREDiT consistently improves answer accuracy and reasoning reliability across both generic and complex sports scenarios, leading to more trustworthy VideoQA systems.
