arXiv:2606. 07916v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The growing ability of generative models to produce realistic documents poses a direct challenge to evidentiary workflows in the justice system and the courts, where decisions increasingly depend on the authenticity of evidence such as receipts, communications, and administrative records.
The paper investigates an agentic framework for open‑world fake image detection that combines specialist detectors with per‑detector triage, prompting, and conflict‑aware evidence arbitration. Experiments across six configurations and three multimodal large language model backbones reveal that naive detector fusion yields high false‑positive rates, while triage and prompting consistently filter unreliable evidence. The most significant improvement comes from the reasoning component: a stronger judge markedly outperforms a weaker one, especially under distribution shift, and overall manipulation recall is nearly saturated, highlighting that the key challenge lies in calibrating trust and arbitrating conflicting forensic evidence rather than detecting manipulations themselves.
arXiv:2606. 07613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual evidence has long been treated as a reliable form of legal proof, but advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are undermining that assumption.
ManiVid introduces a unified forensic analysis framework for manipulated videos, combining forgery detection, artifact grounding, and anomaly explanation. The authors release ManiVid-38K, a large dataset of 19K real‑fake video pairs with authenticity labels, forgery masks, and explanations, and a benchmark ManiVidBench with 1K balanced pairs. ManiVidLens, the proposed model, outperforms existing methods in artifact grounding and anomaly explanation while matching state‑of‑the‑art detection accuracy.
