Find the right expert for the matter in front of you.
Global Cyber Institute coordinates introductions to independent experts on deepfakes and synthetic media — across litigation, investigation, corporate consulting, and press. Submit the form below and we will route your inquiry to a vetted expert appropriate to the matter, jurisdiction, and timeline.
Five common kinds of engagement.
Deposition, declaration, and trial-testimony support in civil and criminal matters involving alleged deepfakes, voice clones, non-consensual intimate forgeries (NCII), or AI-altered evidence. Pre-litigation analysis and Daubert-aware report drafting.
Forensic analysis of suspect imagery, audio, or video; chain-of- custody documentation; integration with C2PA Content Credentials workflows; coordination with law enforcement (FBI IC3, NCMEC) and specialised counsel.
Board briefings on synthetic-media risk; design of authentication protocols (out-of-band callback, challenge phrase, liveness on video) for finance, executive, and AP teams; tabletop exercises; crisis-communications scaffolds.
Background briefings, on-record statements, and technical commentary for journalists covering deepfake incidents, the DEFIANCE Act / TAKE IT DOWN Act, FCC TCPA AI-voice rule, or related policy.
Conference keynotes, CLE/CPD-eligible training modules for law firms and in-house counsel, university guest lectures, and governmental advisory engagements.

Retention FAQ.
How are experts vetted?
Vetting includes credential review (peer-reviewed publication record, prior expert-witness experience, institutional affiliations), conflicts screening against the matter you describe, and a check for any financial relationship with platforms, detection vendors, or generative-AI providers whose work is at issue. Experts who do not pass independence review are not surfaced for that matter.
Does Global Cyber Institute receive any payment for referrals?
No. The Institute does not take referral fees, retainers, kickbacks, or commissions. Fee terms are negotiated directly between you and the expert. The referral function is a public-service activity of the 501(c)(3).
What happens after I submit?
Your inquiry lands in our shared editorial mailbox at info@imadethisup.org. We confirm receipt, ask any clarifying questions, and route the matter to one or more vetted experts. They reply directly. We do not retain the substance of your submission longer than needed to make the introduction; see the privacy policy.
Can I request a specific expert?
Yes. If you have a name in mind, include it in the description field. We will check our roster and conflicts and, if available, route directly. If the named expert is not available, we will offer alternatives.
I'm a journalist on deadline. Can I jump the queue?
Mark your inquiry "Immediate" in the urgency field. Press inquiries with a deadline of less than 24 hours are routed within hours of receipt during business days. Outside business hours, write to info@imadethisup.org with "URGENT PRESS" in the subject line.
I represent a victim. Is this the right channel?
Yes — for litigation or investigation. For immediate practical help with non-consensual intimate imagery (independent of a legal matter), the fastest first step is the hash-takedown services on the /safety-suite page (StopNCII.org for adults, NCMEC Take It Down for under-18). Use this form when you also need a forensic or expert-witness role.
Does this create an attorney–client or expert-witness relationship?
No. Submitting this form is an inquiry only. No fiduciary, attorney–client, consultant–client, or expert-witness relationship is created until the expert and you (or your client) execute a written engagement agreement. Until then, do not transmit privileged or confidential material through this channel.
