Abstract

This article examined the transformation of legal truth in the age of Artificial Intelligence, particularly when synthetic images, voices, texts, and digital representations increasingly blurred the distinction between factual reality and simulation. The central problem arose when legal processes continued to rely on evidence as a representation of events, while Artificial Intelligence enabled the creation of convincing representations without an underlying factual occurrence. The study employed normative legal research combined with philosophical and conceptual approaches to analyze hyperreality, legal truth, and evidentiary authenticity. The study found that the traditional orientation toward truth verification was no longer sufficient to address artificially generated realities. Legal truth therefore required an additional stage of reality authentication to determine whether the represented event, identity, object, or communication had genuinely existed before its evidentiary value was assessed. The article proposed a reconstruction of legal truth through the principle of juridical reality authentication. It concluded that contemporary law needed to distinguish between factual reality, representation, and synthetic simulation before constructing legally valid truth.
