S1:E7 // Overcoming AI & deepfake defense in ICAC cases

Artificial intelligence is increasingly being invoked in child exploitation cases as a defense strategy, with claims that images are AI-generated, deepfakes, and that no real child is being depicted—all to create confusion and undermine proof. Prosecutors must be prepared to address these assertions with technical precision and evidentiary clarity.

In this special joint AI & Legal Unpacked episode, hosts Justin Fitzsimmons and Brandon Epstein will dive into how ICAC prosecutors and investigators can arm themselves with practical strategies to identify, analyze, and rebut AI-based defenses.

Join us to learn more about:

  • Core technical principles behind generative AI and deepfake creation
  • Technical and practical considerations when proving authentic or originality in the era of AI
  • Limitations on relying only on metadata
  • Charging considerations when defendants argue no actual child exists
  • Authentication foundations under Rule 901
  • Effective use of expert testimony and proactive use of motions in limine to preclude speculative or unsupported AI defenses.
