Abstract

The discipline of digital forensics has been thrust into the forefront of investigative techniques, necessitating the development of creative methods to handle the quantity and complexity of digital data. The paper examines how the field is developing and how artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way investigations are conducted. It describes the foundations of digital forensics and emphasizes how important they are to both criminal and civil investigations. After recognizing the shortcomings of conventional methods, it highlights the fundamentals of AI and some of its uses pertinent to digital forensics, encompassing automated data gathering, predictive analysis, and threat intelligence. The study examines the many advantages that AI offers the industry, including improved speed, efficiency, and data handling capabilities and touches on overcoming ethical issues and difficulties.


Introduction

An essential part of forensic science is digital forensics, which is a complex procedure involving the methodical examination of digital devices, networks, and electronic systems. This broad field seeks to systematically collect, store, and examine digital evidence in order to unearth information that is essential for looking into and combating fraud, cybercrimes, and other forms of digital misconduct. Due to the increasing reliance on digital platforms for communication, financial transactions, and information storage, the importance of digital forensics in today's technological world has increased to an unprecedented degree. The extent and complexity of possible cyber threats and criminal activity have unavoidably increased as a result of this rise, which underscores the urgent need for skilled digital forensic investigators who can handle digital evidence effectively and efficiently.
