AI Forensic Investigations

Generative AI is creating new types of disputes, data leakage and electronic evidence.

Incident Response Solutions provides independent forensic investigations to establish what happened, what information was used, how AI was involved, and what evidence supports the findings.

Our work combines traditional digital forensics with specialist knowledge of generative AI systems and workflows.

Types of Investigations

AI-Generated Images

We investigate disputes involving AI-generated or manipulated images, including whether an individual’s image or likeness was used.

Our examination may include:

  • prompts and AI conversation history
  • reference images and source material
  • generated outputs
  • metadata and workflow records
  • controlled testing and reconstruction

Copyright and Content Copying

We investigate allegations that AI has been used to copy, reproduce or closely replicate protected content, including:

  • written material
  • photographs and designs
  • proprietary documents
  • AI-generated material alleged to reproduce an original work

Recent litigation involving publishers, including the Seattle Times and Newsday, highlights the growing importance of electronic evidence in AI-related copyright disputes.

Confidential Information Leakage

We investigate suspected uploading or copying of confidential information into AI assistants without authorisation.

This may include:

  • client documents
  • commercially sensitive information
  • personal information
  • privileged material
  • intellectual property
  • internal reports or source code

Evidence may be obtained from computers, browsers, AI accounts, cloud services, security logs and document activity.

Unauthorised AI Use

We can investigate:

  • use of prohibited AI services
  • Shadow AI
  • personal AI accounts used for business purposes
  • breaches of AI policies
  • unauthorised AI use involving client or company information

AI-Generated or Manipulated Evidence

We can assess the authenticity and provenance of disputed:

  • images
  • video
  • audio
  • documents
  • screenshots and correspondence

We focus on the underlying forensic evidence rather than relying solely on AI detection tools.

AI Evidence in Litigation

AI prompts, conversations and generated documents may become important electronic evidence in litigation, employment disputes and intellectual property matters.

We can assist with the identification, preservation, collection and analysis of AI-related evidence.

Expert Witness and Forensic Reports

We prepare clear, independent forensic reports for:

  • legal advisers
  • regulators
  • internal investigations
  • litigation
  • expert witness evidence

Our reports distinguish between what the evidence establishes, what can reasonably be inferred, and what cannot be determined.

Our Approach

Our investigations typically involve:

Preserve relevant electronic evidence.

Collect information from devices, cloud services and AI platforms.

Examine prompts, source material, outputs and supporting activity.

Reconstruct what occurred and when.

Report the findings in a clear and defensible form.

Need to Establish What Happened?

If you are dealing with an allegation, dispute or data leakage incident involving generative AI, we can help preserve the evidence and establish the facts.
