Artificial intelligence entered our lives in the 1950s as computer and computer-related technologies. Over time, it has evolved into web-based and online intelligent systems. However, today, with the rapid developments in technology, various systems have emerged, such as webbased chatbots and applications that can imitate human intelligence with the use of computer systems and have the ability to make human-specific decisions. These systems are capable of analyzing and meeting needs in the presence or absence of people. In the literature, artificial intelligence is defined as computer-based systems that can imitate human intelligence and perform various cognitive processes usually associated with human intelligence such as learning, problem solving, pattern recognition. At the same time, systems that have the ability to perform tasks that require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech, recognition, decision-making and learning, are also considered within the scope of artificial intelligence. Algorithms and machine learning have been particularly influential in the development of this field of science. Algorithms are a procedure with steps defined to perform a specific function. With this procedure, computers can follow the steps in the procedure and find solutions to problems of different scales. Machine learning is an artificial intelligence discipline that enables machines to learn automatically from data with minimal human intervention. In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has been of great importance in forensic sciences. In investigations that are difficult to analyze, artificial intelligence has started to be used and is still actively used in order to clarify the events in a faster and more active manner. As a result of the introduction of algorithms, the examination and interpretation of forensic evidence has moved to another level. For the reasons mentioned above, artificial intelligence is actively used in many fields such as forensic anthropology, forensic odontology, forensic genetics, forensic toxicology, forensic ballistics and forensic informatics. Within the scope of this study, the applications of artificial intelligence in forensic sciences will be discussed and the ethical and legal dimensions of artificial intelligence software related to forensic sciences will be examined.
