Real Evidence or AI Illusion? Fighting Deepfakes in the Justice System

In a world where seeing is no longer believing, how do justice agencies separate fact from fiction? In this episode of scaling justice, we dive deep into how justice agencies and courts are combating the use of deepfakes—AI-generated images, videos, and documents that can distort reality and threaten the integrity of evidence in courtrooms. We discuss how prevalent the issue is now, how fast it is growing, and what courts can do to detect and address deepfakes with cutting-edge technologies. Our guest is a veteran of the justice system and technology companies, MJ Cartwright. She is currently a state-wide mentor with the University of Michigan Innovation Partnerships Team. Her latest venture is with a startup called ProbeTruth – a solution built to ensure authenticity with cutting-edge deepfake detection.
