AI question for HBOT legal experts...

[Tom Paris]

Is there talk in the legal community about how prosecutors and defense lawyers will deal with AI? I just saw a video showing multiple politicians, individually, with guns drawn in a convenience or grocery store, holding people hostage - Trump, Kamala, Obama, Putin, etc. - and then being perp walked to squad cars. How will AI be addressed if and when people start creating these images of random Americans breaking the law? Will video be admissible still? Will there be AI experts in who can identify a fake? Thanks. It's kind of incredible what people are able to do with this technology. It's a little scary.

No idea, but I think ultimately people will tend to discount or credit all photo or video as necessary to fit their preferred narrative/outcome.

Something along that line happened in Maryland this year and it basically caused a lot of confusion because 99% of the adult population didn't know it was possible or how easy it was to do. Attorneys are painfully slow to react, and the horse has already left the barn on generative AI

This is a legit issue for government to do its thing. Unfortunately we have a non functioning government.

That I am sure of. I was wondering how it would be handled within the court system.

I'm not sure what the laws are now but I'm feeling pretty confident that the laws are not up to what they should be concerning this.

The other issue is enforcing them as more and more people have access to AI tools more and more people are going to start using them for immoral purposes.

or, what happens when a prosecutor introduced AI generated evidence to fit the suspect to the crime? Or a defense team introduces AI generated evidence of a defendant matching their alibi?

I've come across stuff on youtube that is clearly ment to be satire but they take politicians voices and make them say different stuff. I think one was politicians talking trash to one another while playing Call of Duty or something like that.

But the thing is that the voices are real enough that if you don't know it's a fake, one could easily be duped into believing that's their real voice.

Is there a way that stuff like that can be analysed to determine if it's fake or not? I feel like they can so I'm less worried about that for now. Of course it is more concerning that some day the AI could get so good it so that it's impossible to determine if it's real or fake.

likely.

Exactly. How do they argue against it? Are there tech gurus that could verify a fake?
