Legal scholars are calling for changes to rules governing court evidence in the U.S. for 50 years .

They want to shift the burden of determining authenticity away from juries and place more responsibility on judges to separate fact from fiction before trials begin.

Proposed changes would empower judges to exert a stronger gatekeeping role over evidence.

A new rule would require that the party claiming a piece of evidence is AI -generated obtain a forensic expert’s opinion regarding its authenticity well before a trial began.

The judge would then decide whether the evidence in question is real and therefore admissible.

Delfino proposes that a party making the deepfake allegation should pay for the forensic expertâs.
