Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping crime‑scene work, giving investigators faster, smarter ways to document, analyze, and interpret evidence. This focused 2‑hour IAI webinar introduces CSI professionals to 10+ practical AI tools they can immediately apply to photography, documentation, pattern recognition, search workflows, public interaction and scene‑to‑courtroom reporting. Participants will better learn how to evaluate AI outputs responsibly while recognizing limitations, bias, and legal considerations. The session includes emerging threats such as deep-fakes and synthetic media, including how to detect and document manipulated imagery. Attendees need not have experience with AI but leave with ready‑to‑use workflows and a digital handout of curated resources designed to strengthen accuracy, efficiency, and investigative confidence.
