A Inteligência Artificial e os desafios da Ciência Forense Digital no século XXI

Abstract

Digital Forensics emerged from the need to perform forensic tasks in the digital age. Its most recent challenges are related to the popularization of social media and were intensified by the advance of Artificial Intelligence. The generation of massive social media data made forensic analyses more complex, mainly due to improvements in computational models able to artificially create highly realistic content. Because of this, Artificial Intelligence techniques have been studied and used to process the massive volume of information. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities associated with such methods and provides real case examples, as well as the problems that arise when using these approaches in sensitive contexts and how the scientific community has approached these topics. Finally, it draws future research paths to be explored.
