The main aim of this systematic research was to analyze the emerging trend of incorporating AI to advance forensic investigation. A search of relevant studies published up to December 2025 was performed across the manifold automated databases, including Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Research gate and PubMed/MEDLINE. This paper indicated that AI is transforming modern-day forensic science regardless of the challenges, including overwhelming volumes of data, trace evidence embedded in hectic and manifold environments, conventional laboratory systems, and limited specialist skills. Together, these factors can hamper investigations and increase the risk of failures of justice. However, deep learning and machine learning can help address these challenges. In a variety of forensic fields, case-based reasoning and neural networks are used to provide objective, reproducible, and errorless results. AI has recently been integrated into almost every major field of forensic sciences, using various approaches such as pattern recognition, data mining, data analysis, image processing, statistical analysis, computer vision, graphical modeling, computational, and mathematical methods. Furthermore, AI supports investigators and forensic experts by articulating logical evidence in fingerprint analysis, Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis, footprint analysis, ballistics analysis, drug analysis, facial identification to recognize people in pictures, voice recognition and videos, autopsy, cause of death determination, and three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions of crime scenes. Therefore, in spite of its challenges, the introduction of AI into forensic analysis creates momentous development in the arena of crime investigation, opening up new opportunities for accuracy, efficiency, and scalability in solving sophisticated cases and providing justice.
