The November 8, 2024 meeting of the Evidence Committee made it clear that the august members of the committee do not believe our warnings. They will do little or nothing to protect our system of justice from the oncoming storm of deepfake justice. They think it is a fake problem and Judge Paul Grimm (ret) and Professor Maura Grossman are wrong. This is not unexpected. Losey, The Problem of Deepfakes and AI-Generated Evidence: Is it time to revise the rules of evidence? Part One and Part Two. Here is a deepfake video of me talking about the committee and deepfake videos. It might be better called a ‘shallow-fake’ because the video itself is not pro-level, although the fake voice is deepfake quality. It sounds real even to me.
Check out the EDRM CLE on DeepFakes on December 5, 2024 for more information. Ralph (the real one) appears on a panel with Judge Ralph Artigliere (ret.) and Professor Maura Grossman. Bottom line: we must all be very diligent and learn as much as we can about fake videos and what to do when you are hit with one. Also, what to do if your client presents you with a video too good to be true or otherwise suspect. We are now living in a world of “liar’s dividend” and it is hitting our courts now.
