Experts warn AI may make jurors doubt even genuine exhibits due to the possibility of synthetic manipulation.
The burden of proving authenticity could shift, with prosecutors needing stronger foundations for key digital evidence.
Experts say court adoption of provenance tools and cryptographic signatures may improve reliability of digital proof.
AI could affect the meaning of 'beyond a reasonable doubt' by introducing a new layer of doubt about authenticity.
The interview emphasizes a need for greater transparency about what courts know and don’t know about digital evidence.
Levin suggests a hybrid approach combining doctrine changes with technological safeguards.

MIT researchers unveil PlanetWaves, a full-wave model predicting wind-driven waves on planets with different liquids and gravities.
On Titan, a gentle wind can stir up ten-foot-tall waves due to low gravity and light liquids, per the model’s findings.
The model also suggests stronger winds are needed to create waves on exoplanets like 55-Cancri e, a lava world with dense liquids.
The study examined Titan, Mars, LHS1140b, Kepler 1649b and 55-Cancri e to compare wave dynamics under different liquids and gravities.
The model accounts for liquid density, viscosity, surface tension, gravity, and atmospheric pressure to predict wave evolution.
Titan’s lakes, possibly filled with liquid methane and ethane, could host tall waves under mild winds according to PlanetWaves.
Exoplanet 55-Cancri e could have only small waves despite hurricane-strength winds on Earth.
NASA and the National Science Foundation partly funded the PlanetWaves research.
MIT aims to inform future probes with wave-resilient design guidance for instruments.
