Summary:

"This book is in the AAFS Reference Series Library and serves a guide on using AI in forensic science. In Zeno's year of Presidency of the AAFS, one of the topics was Artificial Intelligence and the impact it can have on forensic science. In many forensic products Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning is already included without the user being aware of it. Examples are software for facial and speaker comparison, many digital forensic packages for searching on for instance firearms. Furthermore, it is upcoming in chemometrics and many other fields. Also, the use of AI can impact forensic science, for instance on easier to make deepfakes, so spoofing evidence becomes easier. Different jurisdictions will handle the use of AI differently, depending on the laws. Examples are provided of good use of artificial intelligence, where the expert should be in the loop. The expert as well as the courts also needs to know the limitations of the approach. The book is composed out of chapters which can be used in a course, and will finalize with the newest research in developing approaches with graph neural networks. The book first does an introduction in the field as such, then it will go deeper in the legal issues with AI and the need for developing standard. Many examples of using AI are discussed and presented, such as smart cities, IoT in Hansken and at the end Also, the use of AI for making deepfakes will be discussed as well as how to detect it. The field develops rapidly, and much awareness is also being made by the European Commission on regulation of AI in practical use. In the United States NIST is working on standards on using Artificial Intelligence. New legislation is expected in many states, for example Colorado has legislation on use of facial recognition services and Vermont has legislation enacted on ethical use of artificial intelligence. One of the most significant applications of AI in forensic science is in the analysis of DNA evidence. DNA sequencing technology has advanced significantly in recent years, allowing scientists to analyze large amounts of genetic data quickly and accurately. However, the sheer volume of data generated by these techniques can be overwhelming for human analysts. AI algorithms can be used to quickly and accurately identify genetic markers that are associated with specific individuals or groups, making it easier for forensic scientists to identify suspects or eliminate suspects from an investigation"-- Provided by publisher.
