Generative AI (ChatGPT, Gemini, Llama 4, etc.) is an evolutionary technology taking all industries by storm. Most collaboration, social media, and messaging apps have or will be embedding this productivity technology in some way. In our virtual meeting, we will discuss the impact on the explosion of communications, authentication issues and approaches, and data security risks. We will address the impact on the legal industry from a productivity and threat standpoint.  A walkthrough of deepfakes and detection methodologies will be discussed as well as a relevant pending case.
