Section 1
The premise
AI can support synthetic-media analysis for litigation, but expert testimony, methodology defense, and chain of custody must be human-owned.
What AI does well here
- Generate analysis runbooks documenting tools, versions, and parameters.
- Build chain-of-custody templates for digital evidence handoffs.
What AI cannot do
- Render a court-admissible expert opinion.
- Substitute for a forensics expert who can defend methodology.
