Algorithmic Detectives: Fair Trial and Reliability Assessment of AI Digital Forensics in Criminal Investigations
Law enforcement is increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to examine digital data for evidence, but how reliable is this evidence, and does it uphold human rights in criminal investigations? This project compares evidence laws in the Netherlands and Germany, focusing on AI regulation and forensic validation. Through legal analysis and case studies, it will assess the reliability of AI systems in various investigation scenarios and identify potential risks to individual rights. The goal is to develop new standards and guidance that ensure AI digital forensics are reliable, aligned with human rights protections, and support the integrity of criminal investigations.
