Description: You have heard a thing or two about fake news, but have you heard about deepfakes? Deepfakes are fake video and audio, mostly posted and shared online, that make any person appear to do or say something they did not. A major premise of our concept of truth depends on believing and accepting what we see or hear. So profound is that premise that our entire justice system desperately depends on it. In litigation, whether civil or criminal, audio and video evidence is now standard. Thus, questions this course explores are what do we do as a people, as a society, and as key participants in the legal system if we can no longer believe and trust what we see or hear? What legal tools are there to deal with deepfakes?
