AI and Forensics: Where We Are and the Shape of What’s Next
Day 2 (Saturday, 17 Jan 2026) | 10:00 am, TTJ Auditorium
Artificial intelligence is already influencing forensic work today, but the distinction between practical reality and hype remains a challenge. This keynote begins by examining what AI actually does in forensic investigations today, highlighting where it offers added value and where its limitations are most apparent. It then uses case studies that highlight both its opportunities and pitfalls to examine whether large language models (LLMs) really represent a breakthrough for digital forensics. Building on this, the keynote outlines a short-term vision of how AI could support forensic scientists more effectively by complementing human expertise rather than replacing it. The presentation concludes with a discussion of the way forward, focusing on how the forensics community can use AI responsibly through validation, transparency, and continuous human oversight.
