The Challenges of Forensic Linguistics in the Age of AI

Abstract

In this article, the challenges faced by forensic linguistics in the era of Artificial Intelligence are analyzed. It focuses on des-cribing the automatic generation of text and voice using AI and examining how this impacts authorship attribution and the authentication of evidence in judicial contexts. Additionally, it reviews current detection tools and their limitations. The findings suggest that traditional methodologies may not suffice to detect AI-generated texts, emphasizing the need to develop new tools and interdisciplinary approaches. The research underscores the importance of developing ethical and legal frameworks to regulate the use of AI in judicial processes.
