Deepfakes and Legal Accountability: A Threat to Evidence and Reputation

Abstract | The rise of deepfake technology — hyper-realistic but artificially generated audio, video, or images — poses a significant threat to both legal systems and individual reputations. As these synthetic media become increasingly sophisticated, they blur the lines between real and fake, raising alarming concerns about the authenticity of digital evidence and the potential for reputational harm. In legal proceedings, where evidence must be credible and admissible, deepfakes introduce uncertainty, jeopardizing the fairness of trials and investigations. Beyond the courtroom, individuals can fall victim to manipulated content designed to defame, blackmail, or mislead the public, often with irreversible consequences. This paper explores the dual-edged impact of deepfakes on evidence and personal integrity, examines current legal gaps in addressing this digital menace, and underscores the urgent need for a robust legal and technological framework to ensure accountability. By balancing innovation with legal safeguards, we can begin to mitigate the risks posed by this evolving threat. |
