Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

We can currently make the judgement call that a phones camera is still a fair representation of the truth

No you can't. Samsung's AI is out there now and it absolutely will add data to images and video in order to make them look better. Not just adjust an image but actually add data...on it's own. If you take an off angle photo and then tell it to straighten it it will take your photo, re-orient, and then "make up" what should have been in the corner. It will do the same thing for video. With video it also has the ability flat out add frames in order to do the slow-motion effect or smooth out playback if the recording was janky.

Samsung has it out there now so Apple and rest of the horde will surely be quick in rolling it out.
