Builds on: Advanced Electronic Evidence (Part 2): IoT, Anti-Forensics, Ethics and Reporting
Synthetic Media and Machine-Generated Evidence
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
Software can now make a voice, a face or a document that never existed. That creates two problems. A fake may be taken as real. And a real recording may be waved away as "probably fake".
Focus: no tool settles authenticity alone. The old questions still decide: where did this come from, who handled it, and what else supports it? This unit is general knowledge and not legal advice. The technology and the rules are changing, so check every dated statement again.
Learning objectives
- Say what detection tools can and cannot show today.
- Explain what a provenance record (a content credential) proves and does not prove.
- Recognise the "liar's dividend" and answer it with evidence.
- Ask the right questions when a machine's output is offered as evidence.
