NGH Group CEO Nicholas G. Himonidis will speak at the October 8, 2025, meeting of the Nassau County Bar Association. Presented by the NCBA Matrimonial Law, Cyber Law and Ethics Committees, the educational event will cover “Fakes, Forgeries, and the Fight for Truth: Technical and Ethical Issues with Digital Evidence in the Age of AI.”

As AI-based software tools facilitate the creation of convincing deepfakes, Himonidis and forensic investigators at The NGH Group have encountered many cases involving AI-generated evidence, as well as others that require the authentication of alleged forgeries.

DeStefano, Administrative Judge of the 10th Judicial District and Member of the Advisory Committee on AI and the Courts, will provide opening remarks.

The event will take place at the NCBA headquarters in Mineola, N.Y., from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Registration is open to NCBA members and non-members. Attendees will receive 0.5 CLE Credits in Areas of Professional Practice and 0.5 CLE Credits in Ethics & Professionalism.
