Abstract: This paper explores artificial intelligence (AI) ‘s profound impact on digital forensics. As cybercrime grows in complexity and scale, traditional forensic methods are increasingly insufficient and must improve upon challenges. AI technologies are fundamentally revolutionizing digital forensics by significantly enhancing data analysis capabilities, automating repetitive and time-consuming tasks, and dramatically improving digital investigations’ efficiency and effectiveness. This comprehensive paper discusses the wide-ranging applications of AI in digital forensics, the challenges that arise from its implementation, and the prospects for this rapidly evolving field.

Keywords: AI, digital forensics, Data Analysis, Evidence Collection, Privacy and Ethics, Deepfake Detection, Environmental Impact of Data Centers, Machine Learning in Forensics, Cybersecurity, Ethical AI Practices, Cross-Border Investigations, Legal and Cultural Challenges, Data Waste Reduction, Sustainable Technology Practices.
