Deepfakes Article in the Washington State Bar Association Magazine

I'm pleased to have written the cover story for the latest issue of NWLawyer, the magazine of the Washington State Bar Association. The article, available here, discusses the impact that so-called "deepfake" videos may have in the context of the courtroom. Are existing authentication standards for admission of evidence sufficient, or should the rules be changed? What ethical challenges will deepfakes pose for attorneys? How will deepfakes affect juries? These and other questions may come into play for courts and litigators in the near future, so they would be well-advised to get ready while there is still time.
