Arrtificial Intelligence, Nanotechnology, Nanoscience, Forensic InvestigationAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) and nanotechnology are most hyped but also the least explored and understood. Forensic experts often face challenges in processing evidences in chaotic and complex environment using conventional techniques, leading to failure of investigation or miscarriage of justice. AI aids handling evidences effectively and analysing it to reach logical conclusions. Nanotechnology has an important advantage as it reveals hidden evidence, which can prove to be helpful to give accurate and unbiased results within a short period. Advances in AI are allowing us to understand the behaviour of materials at the nanoscale, and convergence between these two fields is enabling better data acquisition and improved crime-solving pattern.
