| Practice area | [Incoming evidence — deepfakes & synthetic documents](https://ailawframework.com/obligations/incoming-evidence-deepfakes-and-synthetic-documents.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the description the lawyer has marked, record that one example under Rule 901 is evidence describing a process or system and showing that it produces an accurate result. Record, separately, that a record generated by an electronic process or system, and data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file, may be certified by a qualified person under Rule 902(13) or 902(14), with the notice Rule 902 requires. Do not decide that the showing is sufficient. Do not prepare the certification. |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides authenticity. Rule 901(a) requires evidence sufficient to support a finding that the item is what the proponent claims. Rule 901(b)(9) is an example only, not a closed list: evidence describing a process or system and showing that it produces an accurate result. Rule 902(13) covers a record generated by an electronic process or system that produces an accurate result, shown by a certification that complies with Rule 902(11) or (12), plus the notice in Rule 902(11). Rule 902(14) covers data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file, authenticated by a process of digital identification, with the same certification and notice. Rules 902(11) and 902(12) were not opened beyond those cross-references, so the certification wording is not supplied. The tool does not prepare a certification and does not decide authenticity. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the description the lawyer has marked, record that one example under Rule 901 is evidence describing a process or system and showing that it produces an accurate result. Record, separately, that a record generated by an electronic process or system, and data copied from an electronic device, storage medium, or file, may be certified by a qualified person under Rule 902(13) or 902(14), with the notice Rule 902 requires. Do not decide that the showing is sufficient. Do not prepare the certification.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Rule 901(b) examples are not a complete list. A certification under Rule 902 still has to meet the notice requirement.
- Do not treat a self-authentication route as proof that a file is genuine if the opponent disputes it. Rule 902 does not close that dispute.
