Desmond Choo on Courts (Civil and Criminal Justice) Reform Bill
As with all forms of technology, the benefits are followed by the risks of misuse. In the case of remote court hearings, the concern lies with the rising prevalence of deepfake artificial intelligence. MP Desmond Choo, who highlighted this in Parliament on Monday (Sep 13), warned that deepfakes can be created using artificial intelligence to manipulate an image or video to impersonate witnesses. He stressed the need to ensure the highest technical standards for remote hearings to preserve the integrity of the judicial system.
