AI Forensics
When the evidence may not be real.
The forensic examination of AI-generated, AI-altered, and AI-mediated content - suitable for expert declaration and courtroom use. Deepfake authentication, synthetic-audio analysis, generated-image detection, and large-language-model output attribution.
The Problem
Evidence is increasingly synthetic.
Photos, voicemails, documents, even surveillance video can be generated or altered by tools that are freely available. When a piece of evidence looks damning, the right question is no longer just "what does this show?" but also "is this real, and if not, how do we know?"
The courts are catching up. Judges are sanctioning attorneys who file AI-generated content without verification. Opposing counsel are increasingly challenging the authenticity of images, audio, and text. We examine the artifact itself and produce findings your team can defend.
What We Examine
Two questions, methodically separated.
Question One
Is the artifact authentic?
We analyze images, audio, video, and documents for indicators of synthetic generation or post-hoc alteration: compression signatures, metadata anomalies, acoustic artifacts, lighting and shadow inconsistencies, frequency-domain patterns consistent with known generative models, and more.
When a file shows signs of synthesis or manipulation, we document what we see, reference the methodology, and can testify to the finding.
Question Two
Can we attribute it?
When text may have been produced by a large language model, or an image appears generative, attribution is a different analysis. We examine stylometric markers, prompt-signature residue, provenance data, and cross-platform pattern matching.
Attribution rarely yields certainty, but it can produce findings within a recognized probability range that stand up to cross-examination.
Our Posture
A human expert directs every analysis.
Yes, we use AI tools in our forensic workflow. No, we do not accept raw AI output as a finding. The same expert who directs the analysis writes the declaration, defends the methodology at deposition, and testifies at trial.
This is the same standard we apply to our social media and OSINT monitoring service: a forensic analyst at every decision point, AI as force multiplier not as conclusion, and a chain of custody suitable for evidentiary use.
Have a file you need examined?
Image, audio, video, or document that may have been generated or altered. Send us the parameters and a member of our team will follow up directly.
