Forensic medicine is the application of medical knowledge in the legal scenarios to help the court of law in providing justice to innocent individuals. It encompasses several applications including criminal investigations, human remains identification, evaluation of trauma and injury, sexual assault cases, facial reconstruction, and Postmortem interval estimation (PMI). The traditional methods used in this field involve autopsy, collection of viscera, histopathological examination, etc. which have been the cornerstone of forensic investigations for decades. In the modern world, the emergence of Artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized forensic practices, offering enhanced capabilities in evidence analysis, pattern recognition, and decision-making processes. AI-based methods exhibit superiority over traditional approaches as they are capable of processing huge datasets rapidly, identifying complex patterns that go unnoticed by human perception, and minimizing human error. Moreover, AI facilitates the automation of routine tasks, thereby accelerating the investigative process and intensifying the accuracy and reliability of forensic analyses. This review paper highlights the transformative potential that AI holds in the field of forensic medicine, promising a new era of efficiency in legal proceedings and criminal investigations.
