Deep-Faking Evidence

Thursday, November 12, 2026

Silicon Flatirons invites you to an in-depth lecture and panel discussion exploring the implications and challenges of the increasing use of machine-generated visual evidence in courts. How should legal institutions, judges, attorneys, jurors, and witnesses assess the credibility of AI-based images in ways that advance the pursuit of justice?


Presented by the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program at Colorado Law and Silicon Flatirons.

Led by Director Melanie Kay, the x Ethics Series will focus in the upcoming year on a variety of critical ethical implications and considerations arising from novel technologies and business practices. Sessions will feature keynote speakers, expert panels, and community discussion, often with ethics CLE credit available.
