Public a nd policy discussions often focus on technical solutions to AI-based dece ption\, including digital watermarks\, authentication protocols\, metadat a verification\, blockchain technologies\, and detection software. While such tools play an important role\, the challenges extend beyond technolo gical verification. The central issue is not simply whether an image is a uthentic\, but when visual evidence is contested\, (1) how legal institut ions determine what counts as credible evidence and (2) how judges\, atto rneys\, jurors\, and witnesses decide what to believe. This talk\, based on Professor Ristovska’s book-in-progress\, examines how those decisions are made and why they matter. It argues that the evidentiary challenges a ssociated with AI are neither entirely unprecedented nor confined to the technological fidelity of images. Rather\, they emerge from legal procedu res\, institutional authorities\, and viewing practices that have shaped the interpretation of photographs\, films\, and videos in U.S. courts for more than 150 years.\n\nProfessor Ristovska’s presentation will be follo w\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/3b2b3375-0d76-49b4-bb97-29569804a06a URL:http://next-to-u.app/events/3b2b3375-0d76-49b4-bb97-29569804a06a END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
