You are indeed seeing Load Alleviation Function Law (Damping)
Mr Airbus would disagree, below from the training notes:


A380 TECHNICAL TRAINING MANUAL

PRIMARY F/CTL: FLY BY WIRE DESC. (3)
Auxiliary Functions (continued)
Load Alleviation Function
The aim of the Load Alleviation Function (LAF) is to alleviate the
fatigue and static loads on the wings by reduction of the wing bending
moment.
The LAF is composed of:
- the passive turbulence alleviation and,
- the active turbulence alleviation.
The passive turbulence alleviation alleviates the static loads in
turbulence and during maneuvers. The activation is based on the
vertical load factor given by normal law. The computed orders are
sent to the ailerons and spoilers 6 to 8.
The pitch compensation linked to the deflections is sent to the inner
elevators.
The active turbulence alleviation alleviates the fatigue and static loads.
The activation is based on the measurement of the vertical load factor
on the wings given by the accelerometer units installed on the pylons.
The computed orders are superimposed (added) to the computed orders
of the passive turbulence alleviation. They are sent to the ailerons.
Compensation orders are sent to the inner elevators.
The LAF is activated above a given speed and, vertical acceleration
thresholds but are inhibited when slats and flaps are in full
configuration.


In the video the flaps are at full config.
