Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. This is found to be important in improving effectiveness in Forensic science field. Forensic science is critical to the conviction of the guilty and the acquittal of the innocent and artificial intelligence presents an avenue to accompany the paradigm shift in the relationship between criminal adjudication and forensic expertise. However, it is found that lack of comprehensive review and finding available on how artificial intelligence could enhanced the success and presentation of evidence. Thus, this paper highlights the role of artificial intelligence in forensic evidence presentation focusing on how this technology plays it roles to the establishment of causation, to the laboratory standards, the interpretation in forensic evidence presentation as well as removing the coincidental match in forensic evidence presentation. The main contribution of this study is it provides a framework development of an AI adoption in presenting the DNA evidence. The findings of this framework contribute to a better understanding on the AI adoption in presenting DNA evidence, in which important as a reference to be applied by the police department.
