Deepfakes, AI, and the Law: Legal Risks, Regulation, and the Future of Information Integrity

This in-depth francophone legal webinar examines one of the most urgent challenges facing modern societies: deepfakes and artificial intelligence, through the lens of law, democracy, and fundamental rights. Led by Maître Basil Ader, Paris Bar lawyer with nearly 40 years of experience, former Vice-Bâtonnier of the Paris Bar, and leading expert in media and communication law, the session explores how AI-generated content is reshaping information, freedom of expression, criminal liability, and public trust. The discussion covers both technical realities and legal responses, drawing from European, French, American, and international regulatory frameworks. Key topics covered: What deepfakes really are and why they represent a structural risk to society AI-generated images, audio, video, and voice cloning The impact of deepfakes on democracy, elections, public opinion, and armed conflicts Disinformation, manipulation, cyber-harassment, extortion, and non-consensual sexual content Risks to minors and youth exposure on social platforms The EU AI Act (May 2024): scope, classification of risks, and transparency obligations French criminal and civil law responses to deepfake abuse Platform liability, traceability, and cooperation with authorities Detection technologies, watermarking, blockchain, and AI-based countermeasures Comparisons with U.S. federal laws and Chinese regulatory approaches The balance between innovation, regulation, privacy, and freedom of expression The session concludes with a forward-looking exchange on: Whether deepfakes represent an inherent danger or a use-based risk How legal systems should regulate AI without killing innovation Practical advice for young lawyers on staying relevant in the AI era Why mastering AI tools is essential, but never a substitute for legal reasoning This is not a theoretical discussion. It is a practical, regulatory, and philosophical analysis of how law must adapt to protect truth, rights, and democratic institutions in the age of artificial intelligence. Recommended for: Lawyers, judges, policymakers, legal scholars, students, journalists, regulators, and anyone interested in AI governance, media law, and the future of legal professions.
