Tuesday, September 15, 2026, 4:00 PM - 4:45 PM

AI is increasingly used for productive business purposes but is also being used to deceive, commit fraud, or enhance criminal activity.  We will explore how AI is being incorporated into deep fakes, fraudulent remote IT worker schemes, or other forms of deception and the legal, forensic investigative, and law enforcement issues that arise. This talk will be divided into 4 sections:
1) Discuss the use of AI to accelerate business productivity including key security and legal considerations businesses should consider as they adopt AI.
2) Discuss malicious uses of AI such as deep fakes and remote IT worker fraud and the investigative challenges law enforcement sees from both criminal and nation state actors. We discuss forensic issues and legal ramifications including new deep fake laws in US states and what may be on the federal horizon.  
3) Discuss ways to combat the use of AI to commit fraud.  We discuss whether know your customer requirements should be placed on data centers or on cloud providers to track potentially dangerous AI activity. We discuss how AI findings and tooling have continued to evolve.
4) Discuss the President’s new AI plan to protect critical infrastructure and other national or international developments and the impact these initiatives may have on incident response, forensic consulting and law enforcement.
