Abstract:
Digital transformation rapidly changes how we live our lives in the post pandemic world. Unfortunately, digital technology is not limited to law abiding organisations and citizens. Criminal organisations and individuals are quick to identify new opportunities with new technologies, and digital transformation is dramatically changing the character of crimes, terror, and other threats. The fast emergence of new crimes is facilitated by possibilities brought by disruptive technologies such as AI, Internet of Things, drones, and cryptocurrencies that can be disastrous tools in the hands of criminals. Consequently, our society needs far better capacity to prevent and investigate criminal acts to protect organisations and citizens. This brings an urgent need to proactively reform digital forensics to significantly increase our capability to meet the strain on society brought by crimes evolving in the digital transformation era. The future of forensic science is already here, characterized by a mix of opportunities and challenges. It is essential to make it harder to effectively use digital technologies for criminal activities, while leveraging the possibilities of digital technologies by those affected, law enforcement agencies, business and organisations. As digital technologies continue to evolve, we need to stay up to date with the latest developments to effectively investigate and prosecute crimes in the digital age. There is an increased reliance on digital evidence, and the amount of heterogeneous digital evidence in criminal cases keep increasing. The forensic science techniques thus become more sophisticated and play an increasingly important role. However, the scientific area is extremely broad, and beyond the capability of most forensic science labs to keep up with the technology forefront development speed. Besides an urgent need to bring up the subject to the political arena, examples of how we can meet the challenges are discussed such as by extending our cooperation, encourage and facilitate cooperation for training and education to handle the extremely broad and rapid development, working out methods for explaining and visualising evidence for the treatment and legal values of digital evidence in prosecution, and cooperation between product developers and crime investigators for swift innovation of digital forensics tools and methodologies for quickly emerging threats. This paper will highlight specific examples where modern digital techniques are used to solve crimes in the physical world as well as crimes committed in the digital domain and discuss how \"good AI\" can be used to fight \"evil AI\" and finally touch on the sensitive balance between the increased power of the new digital forensic tools and private integrity.
摘要:
数字化转型迅速改变了我们在大流行后世界的生活方式。不幸的是,数字技术不仅限于守法组织和公民。犯罪组织和个人迅速发现新技术的新机会,数字化转型正在极大地改变犯罪的性质,恐怖,和其他威胁。人工智能等颠覆性技术带来的可能性促进了新犯罪的快速出现,物联网,无人机,和加密货币可能成为罪犯手中的灾难性工具。因此,我们的社会需要更好的能力来预防和调查犯罪行为,以保护组织和公民。这迫切需要积极改革数字取证,以显著提高我们的能力,以应对数字转型时代不断演变的犯罪给社会带来的压力。法医学的未来已经到来,其特点是机遇与挑战并存。必须加大有效利用数字技术进行犯罪活动的难度,在利用受影响者使用数字技术的可能性的同时,执法机构,商业和组织。随着数字技术的不断发展,我们需要及时了解最新发展,以有效调查和起诉数字时代的犯罪。人们越来越依赖数字证据,刑事案件中的异构数字证据数量不断增加。因此,法医科学技术变得更加复杂,并发挥着越来越重要的作用。然而,科学领域极其广泛,超出了大多数法医学实验室跟上技术前沿发展速度的能力。除了迫切需要把这个话题提到政治舞台上,讨论了我们如何应对挑战的例子,例如通过扩大我们的合作,鼓励和促进培训和教育合作,以应对极其广泛和快速的发展,制定解释和可视化证据的方法,以说明起诉中数字证据的处理和法律价值,以及产品开发人员和犯罪调查人员之间的合作,以迅速创新数字取证工具和方法,以应对快速出现的威胁。本文将重点介绍使用现代数字技术来解决物理世界中的犯罪以及数字领域中的犯罪的具体示例,并讨论如何使用“良好的AI”来打击“邪恶的AI”,并最终触及新的数字取证工具的增强功能与私人诚信之间的敏感平衡。
