This article demonstrates that artificial intelligence is applicable to criminal investigations, including initiating criminal cases and constructing forensic characteristics of the crime. Artificial intelligence is capable of analyzing investigative situations, developing hypotheses, and planning investigative and procedural actions in a criminal case. However, it is impossible to use artificial intelligence to prove a person’s guilt in committing a crime
