The promise of
Artificial Intelligence
The shifting nature of investigative
challenges – more of them and of
ever-increasing complexity – has drawn
a logical response from technology
developers serving the space.
We see this in new integrated investigatory
systems that offer faster processing
capabilities, more powerful databases,
higher scalability and tighter team
integration for more effective collaboration.
All of these have advanced the cause
for dedicated investigative professionals
as well as their colleagues in HR, IT
and others who frequently contribute to
investigations. But where the future of
automated digital forensic tools truly
lies is in Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence (AI).
The nature of Machine Learning is that
through repetition and observation
over time, solutions can deliver faster
performance and improved outcomes.
In the context of digital forensics, we’re
seeing that with these new technologies
investigative teams can be empowered

more accurate, advanced investigations
on shorter timeframes. The performance
of the digital forensic tools you already
know and trust gets elevated, providing
even greater control over the way you
process, locate, analyse and report on
key pieces of data.
The difference Machine Learning
can make has effects across the
investigative spectrum:
• Exert greater control over visual
data: Integrated visualisations,
including timelines, maps, charts
and social communications
analysis, along with image
recognition, including facial
recognition from a single photo,
power lightning-fast reviews.
• Reveal connections and discover
insights: Advanced tools make it
easy to search data across cases
and develop deep cross-evidence
insights; analyse volumes of
information quickly and make large,
diverse data sets more digestible.
• Guide current and future
investigations: Machine Learning
capabilities make it possible to
monitor every step to help surface
more accurate and relevant
findings, faster; maximise resources
with available tools for establishing
workflows, automating tasks and
collaborating across teams. u
