Artificial Intelligence Tools: a forensic perspective

Artificial Intelligence Tools: a forensic perspective

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a disruptive technology that is transforming various industries and sectors including forensic field. AI tools, such as facial recognition or voice comparison, are widely used by LEAs. Moreover, the evolution of Deep Learning models, specifically GAN Networks and Diffusion Models, has made possible to setup more sophisticated tools especially for multimedia analysis.

In this lecture, the evolution of Deep Learning models, starting from AlexNet, will be briefly introduced together with some insights on how GAN and Diffusion models work. Then, the AI tools used by the Italian Forensic Science Police Service, especially for image and video analysis will be presented using some practical examples. Finally, the limitation of using AI results in court will be discussed.
