Deepfakes and evidence authentication

An image, recording, or transcript can look convincing while leaving important questions unanswered. Start with its origin and the proposition it is meant to establish. This reading path connects digital-evidence concerns with a practical approach to preserving sources, documenting changes, and planning review.

Questions to bring to your team

• Where did the material originate, and is the original available?
• What changes occurred between capture and the copy being reviewed?
• What additional evidence or specialist assistance could resolve an authenticity question?
