Forensic science has been used for centuries to help solve crimes and bring justice to those who have been wronged. In recent years, advancements in technology have allowed forensic scientists to use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to aid in their investigations. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way forensic science is conducted, from helping investigators identify suspects more quickly to providing more accurate evidence analysis.

Current Applications of AI in Forensic Science

Currently, AI is also being used to analyze digital evidence such as images and videos by detecting objects or faces within them. This type of analysis can help investigators quickly narrow down their search and zero in on potential suspects more efficiently. Additionally, it can be used to extract text from documents, which may contain important clues about a crime.

AI is also used to analyze audio recordings such as intercepted phone calls or other voices at the crime scene. By using machine-learning algorithms, forensic scientists can detect words or phrases that could be valuable to the investigation.
