Abstract
AI-generated video (AIGV) detection aims to distinguish real videos from AI-generated ones. In practice, detectors trained on existing data often fail to generalize to newly emerging generative models, making this task challenging. Therefore, continual learning (CL) is essential for improving the adaptability. However, CL frameworks for this task remain underexplored. To this end, we propose SphereVideo, a novel CL framework for AIGV detection built on two key observations. First, real videos exhibit a compact feature distribution. Based on this, we encourage real video features to cluster around a real prototype on a hypersphere while repelling AI-generated samples, thereby establishing a decision boundary. This prototype serves as a stable anchor for CL, regulating boundary evolution and mitigating catastrophic forgetting. Second, existing methods tend to rely solely on spatial artifacts as shortcuts. To enhance temporal modeling, we introduce a strategy that models the temporal dynamics of real data at both frame and clip levels. By strengthening real data modeling, this strategy further facilitates learning a real prototype and forming a stable decision boundary. Moreover, we construct a comprehensive and challenging benchmark. Extensive experiments demonstrate that SphereVideo achieves an improved plasticity-stability trade-off, outperforming prior methods by 3.08% on seen data and 4.00% on unseen AI-generated data.
