RT05 - The Deepfake Defense: When Opposing Counsel Says Your Evidence Is Fake
Monday, November 9, 2026, 2:50 PM - 3:50 PM
Opposing counsel stands up and says the document your case rests on can’t be trusted. AI may have made it. AI may have altered it. Can you prove otherwise? And what happens when real evidence gets dismissed as fake just because convincing fakes now exist? This roundtable is a working discussion among peers, not a presentation. General counsel compare how they are handling authenticity challenges to digital records, where their current protocols hold up, and where they don’t.
Back in your office, you’ll be ready to:
- Tighten chain-of-custody protocols, including cryptographic hashing, so you can show a file is unchanged bit for bit.
- Update litigation hold and discovery practices to screen incoming evidence for signs of AI tampering, such as metadata anomalies and synthetic-document footprints.
- Set governance over internal AI use so it doesn’t create privilege or regulatory problems.
