If you want to assess the progress of any country, one of the best ways is to examine its criminal justice system. If the system demonstrates efficiency, fairness, and effectiveness, it indicates that the country is moving toward development and If you want to assess the progress of any country, one of the best ways is to examine its criminal justice system. If the system demonstrates efficiency, fairness, and effectiveness, it indicates that the country is moving toward development and progress. In the present era, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a new milestone that can be utilized to perform a wide range of tasks. AI is not only assisting in the field of computer science but is also proving to be equally effective in many other disciplines. When we talk about criminology, AI has started playing a significant role in supporting the criminal justice system. For instance, in modern times technologies such as facial recognition and fingerprint recognition have become easier and more efficient due to AI, especially through CCTV surveillance systems. Moreover, the reporting and recording of habitual offenders have become much more systematic and convenient. Many things that once seemed impossible are now becoming a reality with the advancement of AI, making the functioning of the criminal justice system more efficient and effective. Progress.

Artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly plays a role within law enforcement. According to Hartzog et al., “We are entering a new era when large portions of the law enforcement process may be automated … with little to no human oversight or intervention.”[1]The expansion of law enforcement use of AI in recent years can be related to three societal developments: austerity measures and a push toward using more cost-effective means; a growing perception that law enforcement should adopt a preventive or preemptive stance, with an emphasis on anticipating harm; and, finally an increase in the volume and complexity of available data, requiring sophisticated processing tools, also referred to as Big Data.[2]
