AI IN CRIMINAL CASES IN 2025: USE OF AI-GENERATED EVIDENCE IN INVESTIGATIONS AND TRIAL
Written by Hon. Abraham C. Meltzer
This is the second in a two-part series concerning the use of artificial intelligence in criminal cases.
2025 will be a transition year as AI designers recognize that they must submit their AI programs to independent outside testing for reliability and accuracy if they want evidence from their systems to become admissible in court. If and when that outside testing is done—and it has not been done yet on any widespread basis—then AI-generated evidence may well become admissible in criminal trials. But if AI companies refuse to allow outside testing, then AI evidence will likely be ruled inadmissible in criminal cases.
