Forensic Science: AI-Powered Image and Audio Analysis
P. Renukadevi, Sincy John, N Shivani · 2024
Forensic science demands the precise application of advanced scientific principles and procedures to investigate crimes and ensure justice. This process involves the analysis of vast and complex data. The research explores the potential of modern science and technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI), to develop innovative techniques across various branches of forensic science. It provides a comprehensive examination of AI applications in forensic fields, focusing on image and audio analysis to identify instruments used in crimes and determine causes of death. By integrating AI, the research aims to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of forensic investigations while maintaining ethical standards. The paper also discusses the difficulties with AI in forensic science, highlighting the need for open and moral AI systems. It highlights that forensic errors leading to wrongful convictions often result from factors such as incompetence, spam, weak scientific foundations, or organizational deficiencies, rather than blunders made by forensic scientists. These issues highlight the importance of addressing the root causes of forensic errors to improve the reliability of forensic practices. The study also delves into the specific challenges AI encounters, such as data quality, interpretability of AI models, and the unification of AI into current forensic procedures. By tackling these challenges, the research aims to ensure that AI applications in forensic science are effective and trustworthy. Overall, this work highlights the critical role of AI in advancing forensic science and the importance of addressing the underlying issues that contribute to forensic errors, ultimately striving for a more reliable and just forensic process
