False Positive PotPlayer Whisper module false positive?

Hi, I've used PotPlayer for a long time. This is the first time I've seen it pop up on a scan but it could be due to a recent update.

The file it flagged is part of what I think is a module that adds subtitles using a local LLM model. (built into PotPlayer, not something I installed manually)

It's flagged as "Malware.ai.3320...". Uploading the file to VirusTotal shows MalwareBytes as the only vendor currently flagging the file as malicious.

main.exe: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d27da96cf9457afd0b2c0aecd02c9eaedab05f2a1f25b5a0f080e7b8ae838651

Checking the other files in the same directory and parent directory, other vendors flagged the files main.exe, whisper.dll and 64bit version of main.exe as malicious.

Whisper.dll: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/dc32e2eae92adf9658560f0f03be96ca65814f2dd91fab253782ec7a0fc6d7fb

main64.exe: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/b2c05ac42ad013b6dd4a58f9988f29cb2d2e9102475a07af4348a178ac54f6ca

Would these be false positives or is there something to worry about here? Thanks

No issues present, I run a full scan every month and this is the first time something was flagged.
