Editoriale - I riflessi dell'intelligenza artificiale sulle indagini nominate

Abstract

Starting from a metaphor that will be the background to the analysis (reflexes, light, photography), the author initially focuses on the pitfalls underlying the phenomenon of artificial intelligence and how to redirect its impli- cations towards criminal proceedings that are more attentive to guarantees, rights, and freedoms. He then ad- dresses the topic of digital investigations, where the investigative use of artificial intelligence is most widespread and where there is an urgent need to reorganize the procedural institutions involved. Among the various investi- gative activities, attention is focused on the risks associated with the analysis and classification of digital evi- dence, the covert and indiscriminate collection of cognitive data, and the acquisition of information automatically generated by expert systems that perform purposes unrelated to the trial. The necessary rethinking of certain categories and the adaptation of certain institutions leads to the topic of seizures, searches, and wiretaps, which are examined from a de iure condendo perspective, with reference to bill n. 1822, currently under consideration by the Chamber of Deputies.
