AI is a new technology but video, images, and documents have always been able to be forged.
In the US at least, there’s a lot of groundwork that needs to be laid in order for this kind of evidence to actually be admissable. You can’t just show any video or photo and say it’s real. You need to establish where it came from, how it came into your possession, and how it’s relevant.
Doesn’t mean forgeries never make it I to court, but just because you can make a fake video easier than before doesn’t mean you can just get it into court easily. Especially since if someone does think it’s suspicious, that will be discussed and ruled on long before the trial itself begins. And even if they can’t outright prove it’s fake, it may not be admissible just due to how suspicious it is.
