Abstract: Digital forensics has become a cornerstone of modern crime investigation, particularly in a world where cyber threats, digital fraud, and electronic evidence are increasing rapidly. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping this field by automating evidence collection, accelerating analysis, and uncovering hidden patterns across massive datasets. This paper explores how AI enhances digital forensic processes such as image analysis, malware detection, data reconstruction, and behavioral profiling. It also highlights the risks, such as algorithmic bias and evidentiary admissibility, and the need for explainable AI in forensic contexts. As technology evolves, AI will not just assist but transform digital forensic science into a faster, smarter, and more reliable discipline.
