Abstract

Forensic Medicine deals with applying medical knowledge in the administration of justice, bridging medical science with the law. The new technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly applied in the various fields of Forensic Medicine & crime investigation. It is used by forensic pathologists to establish the identity of an unknown person, estimate the age of injuries, primarily bruises, detect and analyze trace evidence, etc. It is very convenient to store, analyze, and transmit massive data within a very short time. This new technology is also helpful in conducting non-invasive autopsy by using various technologies such as Sonography, CT scans, MRIs, 3D surface scanning, etc. Detection and analysis of many trace evidence can be carried out by using AI. It is also very convenient to reconstruct the crime scene by creating video animation. However, as of now, its use is minimal and at a nascent stage. Moreover, it is not legally acceptable in a court of law.
