“Evidence in the Age of AI: Digital Evidence, Deepfakes and Manipulated Evidence,” October 10, 2026, Association of Business Trial Lawyers 52nd Annual Seminar

On October 10, 2026, Partner Matthew F. Ferraro spoke at the Association of Business Trial Lawyers (ABTL) 52nd Annual Seminar in Carlsbad, California on a panel entitled, “Evidence in the Age of AI: Digital Evidence, Deepfakes and Manipulated Evidence.” Mr. Ferraro joined panelists Judge Vince Chhabria of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, Judge Alison Mackenzie of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, and David Kalat, a digital forensics expert at BRG to discuss how state and federal courts are dealing with the specter of AI-generated evidence. They discussed how jurors and jurists should weigh evidence, use existing rules, and consider expert testimony to determine the admissibility and credibility of evidence. Mr. Ferraro speaks and writes regularly on the legal, litigation, and business risks of AI-generated media, or deepfakes. He also recently testified before the U.S. Senate on the threats deepfakes pose to Americans, particularly U.S. seniors, and he regularly counsels clients on both combatting the dangers of deepfakes and pursuing lawful and ethical uses of AI-generated media.
