Deepfakes in the courtroom: What courts can do right now
Deepfakes and AI-altered evidence are no longer hypothetical concerns for courts. Since the TRI/NCSC AI Policy Consortium's April 2025 webinar on this topic, courts are now confronting actual cases involving deepfake evidence and states are adopting new evidence rules.
This month's webinar builds directly on the second edition of Evidentiary Issues Raised by Artificial Intelligence published by the TRI/NCSC AI Policy Consortium and moves the conversation from "what might happen" to "what is happening, and what courts can do."
Our expert panel will examine new case law, review the evolving state rules landscape, and discuss practical tools judges and court administrators can deploy to protect the integrity of legal proceedings.
