Truth on Trial: How to Detect and Challenge Deepfake Evidence in the AI Era
About This Webcast
AI has made it easier than ever to fabricate convincing documents, images, audio, and video which is creating a new generation of evidence that can mislead courts, opposing counsel, and clients. This session gives legal professionals the knowledge and tools they need to detect, challenge, and prevent the use of AI-generated deepfakes in litigation. Attendees will learn how to recognize common indicators of manipulated digital evidence, understand the forensic techniques used to authenticate files, and implement best practices for preserving originals and maintaining a defensible chain of custody. We’ll also address the evolving legal landscape, including admissibility standards, ethical obligations, and how to effectively work with digital forensics experts. Participants will leave better prepared to safeguard the integrity of their cases in an era where seeing – and reading – is no longer believing. WHO IS IT FOR? Any current practitioner, including attorneys, litigation support managers, judicial officers, and paralegals, who may be confronted by deepfake evidence in a future case. You’ll be armed with the knowledge you need to identify and challenge fraudulent AI evidence.
