Is This Audio AI? The Fazlur Rehman “Apology” Clip: Video 96% Human, Audio 100% AI

Is This Voice Real? How Soch Fact Check Caught the Fake Apology

The clip circulated amid political tension over the federal government’s decision to impose an emergency and Governor’s Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Soch Fact Check, which describes itself as Pakistan’s only IFCN signatory, ran these checks:

1. Look for credible reports. It found no news reports of Rehman apologizing for his remarks.
2. Trace the original. A reverse search led to the full video on the National Assembly’s official YouTube channel. He never makes the claimed statement or apologizes.
3. Find the edit. At about 3:23, a man walks behind Rehman. In the original, he is recalling his mediating role between the PTI and the federal government at that moment.
4. Run three AI detectors. Hive Detect rated the audio 82.4% AI-generated. UncovAI rated the audio 100% AI and the video 96% human. Hiya gave authenticity scores of 2/100 for different parts of the audio.

Combining the original footage with three detectors pointing the same way, Soch Fact Check confirmed that the audio is fake. Related reading: another real video with fake AI audio, caught by UncovAI.

Why Was the Video 96% Human but the Audio 100% AI?

This is an increasingly common trick: take a genuine clip and replace the sound with AI-generated speech. In this analysis UncovAI reported separate results for the video and the audio, which is how the “96% human, 100% AI” split showed up. It is a good reminder to check the sound as well as the picture.

Detector scores are probabilities, not proof on their own. UncovAI takes no position on politics and had no role in Soch Fact Check’s editorial conclusions. This article doesn’t imply a partnership.

How to Check If a Voice Is AI-Generated: 5 Steps

1. Find the original video. Reverse search a frame and look for the official source, such as a parliament or broadcaster channel.
2. Compare what is actually said. If the original never contains the quote, the sound has been altered.
3. Look for the splice. Edits often hide in moments when someone passes in front of or behind the speaker.
4. Run it through UncovAI or another AI voice detector. Upload the audio or video and read the probability score for the voice.
5. Use more than one tool. For a sensitive claim, compare several detectors, as Soch Fact Check did.
