Legal Tech's Predictions for Artificial Intelligence in 2020

Partner Doug Mirell provided his predictions to LegalTech News in the area of artificial intelligence.

Douglas E. Mirell, partner, Greenberg Glusker Fields Claman & Machtinger: “I predict in the coming election year, the emergence of highly sophisticated ‘deepfake’ technology—employing artificial intelligence to generate doctored video content which appears realistic—will be weaponized to create phony campaign attack ads that will have gone viral before anyone recognizes their deceptiveness. By using candidates’ own images and voices, ultra-sophisticated ‘deepfakes’ make that phenomenon more alarming than ever.”
