    Deepfake, Shallowfake, and Digital Disinformation: If AI is Destabilizing the Concept of Truth Itself, How Can Law Enforcement Maintain Authenticity and Integrity?

    Sunday, October 20, 2024
    12:30 PM – 1:30 PM ET
    Location: 254AB
    We have reached a point where the authenticity of digital media is routinely questioned by the public. What risk does this pose to law enforcement and what solutions can be employed to mitigate that risk? A professor at the University of California advised The Washington Post, that AI was a "Liars Dividend" and “When you actually do catch a police officer or politician saying something awful, they have plausible deniability.” It is this sentiment which will mean that defense lawyers will begin to routinely challenge digital evidence. Agencies must be prepared to counter the risk that this poses. This presentation will explore cases within law enforcement where the use of digital evidence could become routinely challenged provide insight into potential future legal challenges.
