Where deepfakes are concerned, there is still potential for ethical benefits in the world of
education, accessibility and creative fields, but in terms of criminal justice, the advantages no

of admissible evidence, deepfakes become a new technological risk to justice. Where once they
may have been a gift of creative advancement, the movement toward unethical use champions a
call to action for courts, legislators and technology creators alike.
