As technology advances, the manipulation of digital content has become more sophisticated and accessible than ever. It is now easier to generate or alter photos, videos, audio recordings, and even handwriting, raising critical questions about the integrity of evidence presented in legal proceedings. With the rise of AI-generated content, we must consider how these advancements can potentially compromise the reliability of evidence in court.

This presentation addresses the need for legal professionals to understand and respond to the challenges posed by AI manipulation. We will explore whether our existing authentication rules are sufficient to withstand the complexities introduced by AI-generated evidence.
