Deepfake technology uses advanced AI to generate highly realistic fake photos, audio and video that can misrepresent individuals and events, undermining trust in media evidence. These tools enable manipulation of content in ways that could fabricate witness statements, falsify documents or place people in false situations, threatening evidence credibility in legal and public arenas. The article highlights ongoing EU efforts, including proposed legislation and the AI Act, to regulate harmful deepfake content and protect individuals from non-consensual or malicious use. It also notes that Romania has initiated a draft law addressing deepfakes, but legal frameworks remain in development while the technology continues to evolve rapidly.
