Real or illusion: Expert tips for challenging synthetic evidence
Season 1, Episode 7
In an era where generative AI and deepfake technologies are reshaping the digital landscape, the legal system faces a growing challenge: how to detect and respond to falsified evidence. From subtly altered documents to convincingly fabricated audio and video, synthetic content is increasingly surfacing in litigation – often at pivotal moments in disclosure.
In this episode, host Charlotte Hill, partner in the commercial dispute resolution team at Penningtons Manches Cooper, is joined by Dr Tristan Jenkinson, head of forensics and investigations at Sky Discovery, to explore the realities behind synthetic evidence. Drawing on real-world examples Charlotte and Tristan unpack how legal teams can spot manipulation early, and what tools, techniques, and expert insights are most effective.

AI in employment
Season 1, Episode 2
Enhancements to artificial intelligence (AI) can improve efficiency with timely HR processes involving hundreds of employees or candidates. By removing the human bias from a decision, an employer may also actually be making a fairer decision based on objective data (if the data and criteria themselves are fair).
