People often assume video proves reality. AI has weakened that assumption.
Warning signs may include:
- mismatched context
- a dramatic claim with no trustworthy source
- pressure to act fast based on the video alone
- a clip shared through random accounts or messages
But Level 3 is not about training you to become a video-forensics expert. It is about teaching the safer response: do not treat a shocking image or video as proof until it is verified somewhere trustworthy.
What to do:
- Look for a trusted confirming source.
- Be cautious with clips that are highly emotional or urgent.
- Remember that “I saw it with my own eyes” is weaker than it used to be online.
