Deepfakes—hyper-realistic synthetic media generated by AI—are no longer fringe phenomena. From fake video evidence in litigation to impersonation in financial fraud and disinformation campaigns, the impact is real and growing. During this upcoming HaystackID® webcast, leading professionals will dig into the risk posed by deepfakes to truth, trust, and digital integrity and how digital forensic experts can identify, analyze, and combat deepfakes in legal and investigative contexts.
The speakers will discuss:
- What constitutes a deepfake and an overview of synthetic media, GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks), and their evolution.
- Practical signs and metadata anomalies that may indicate deepfake manipulation.
- How digital investigators can use detection techniques, such as AI-powered tools, to identify deepfakes.
