• Abstract: The evolving realism of AI-generated Videos (AIGC-V) is rapidly rendering traditional artifact-centric detection insufficient, necessitating a paradigm shift from low-level inspection to high-level semantic verification. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of AIGC-V detection, reframing the task as Factual Fidelity Verification, which asks whether the events, entities, and physical processes depicted in a video are consistent with real-world facts. To systematize this rapidly evolving field, we propose a Vision-Language Dual-View taxonomy that organizes existing methods into a hierarchical, four-layer landscape, spanning intrinsic cue analysis, spatiotemporal consistency modeling, cross-modal consistency reasoning, and language-guided world-level reasoning. This dual-view framing highlights a fundamental transition from artifact matching in traditional deepfake detection to evidence-based semantic verification enabled by vision-language models and agentic reasoning pipelines. Based on a systematic review of 221 works, we synthesize AIGC-V generation paradigms, survey the landscape of detection methods, and review evaluation metrics and benchmarks in line with proposed views. Finally, we discuss current challenges and identify promising directions toward robust, explainable, and trustworthy detection.

  Deepfakes are realistic face manipulations that can pose serious threats to security, privacy, and trust.

We propose a novel paradigm named Visual-Linguistic Face Forgery Detection(VLFFD), which uses fine-grained sentence-level prompts as the annotation.
