“Deepfakes” threaten to confuse juries and delay trials, local media outlets commented on the story; especially since compelling evidence produced by AI could easily meet the “currently low bar of admissibility” in the United States. American legal experts suggest shifting the burden of proof to judges by tightening pre-trial reviews. One proposal from Maura Grossman and Paul Grimm would allow judges to decide the authenticity of disputed evidence before it reaches the jury. To prevent false accusations, Rebecca Delfino recommends that all allegations of tampering be subject to judicial review and be held at the other party’s expense.
Currently, the US legal system is “ill-equipped to combat deepfakes.”
