I agree. My point is only that it is less likely because the person who would be preparing and submitting as evidence the fake video knows that there would be plenty of time to discovery the fakery, so the point of doing it is diminished.
Also, to submit as evidence any video, a specific person must have personal knowledge of how that video was recorded, and testify to the authenticity of that video. So that means the person who faked the video would have to disclose their own identity to the legal system, and commit perjury. That's a pretty huge disincentive.
In contrast, a fake AI video of a political candidate - or honestly of any person - that is just being distributed on the internet anonymously obviously isn't being testified to by anyone. So the identity of the person creating isn't known, and there isn't the same level of disincentive for creating and disseminating it.
Wouldn’t it solve a lot of problems if AI were required by law to sign all its work?

Not until you end up in court. And you are still arrested for suspicion before any evidence is even addressed.
Just being arrested “as a suspect” is a serious problem. Society deems you are automatically guilty when you are arrested whether you are or not. And because Law Enforcement reports arrests with real names in the public spaces now your honesty and integrity has been challenged by both authorities and society. This arrest and public ridicule has cost many their jobs, their friends, and their families many times. I have seen it happen countless times.
Nothing should be allowed that can cause an innocent law abiding person to be arrested period. You can lose everything dear to you even if you are never convicted. Too late... Your life will never be the same just because of one wrongful arrest. And you never get it back...
