Abstract : Forensic science is a science of how evidences are collected, which is a very important step in criminal investigation process and plays a vital role in preparing a hypothesis. Collaboration of technology and an inter- disciplinary approach can work wonders in this field. AI and Blockchain have a great potential in revolutionizing the way evidences are collected and analyzed and comes under the part of IoT (Internet of things). The AI can analyze very complex and vast amount of data by Artificial Neural Network (ANN) or Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and generate a logical output which one can use to arrive at a certain conclusion. The blockchain technology on the other hand protects the integrity and security of the database and make it tamper-proof. AI and Blockchain can go hand in hand and make this process of forensic trial investigation an efficient and more accurate process. This technology, does however also comes with number of difficulties and ethical issues that needed to be addressed. This paper focuses on the applicability of AI and Blockchain in field of forensic science and also highlights various limitation to the use of this technology in this field. Present article aims to analyze the ever-expanding role of AI and blockchain in the criminal investigative techniques and its ethical implication in its usage. The papers also intend to highlight the various ways in which AI has been contributing towards the Criminal Administration of Justice.
