The legality of using artificial intelligence in criminal investigation

Abstract

 The aim of this research is to reveal the legality of the use of artificial intelligence in controlling crime, through the use of artificial intelligence systems in criminal investigation procedures such as investigation and reasoning, for the purposes of detecting the crime and tracking down its perpetrators, in order to achieve the desired justice Taking into account the legitimacy of the measures taken by the competent authorities, especially since the Jordanian Code of Criminal Procedure does not stipulate the use or non-use of artificial intelligence systems in searching for evidence of crime and investigating crimes Especially since the world is living in an era of accelerated technological innovation, which despite its positive aspects has produced many negatives, as some have misused the capabilities provided by the global information network to commit acts that fall under the penalty of the law Especially the new crimes that have developed with the introduction of artificial intelligence technology, and the Jordanian legislator has criminalized them in the Jordanian Cybercrime Law No. (17) of (2023). Therefore, tools and systems that detect these crimes must be developed in line with this tremendous technological development 

Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in a variety of vital fields, the most prominent of which is national security, as artificial intelligence has become a major factor in enhancing the ability to respond to modern security challenges and reducing crime with modern technological means.. 

Accordingly, the researcher divided this research into two sections. In the first section, she addressed the nature of artificial intelligence and its characteristics, which was divided into two topics. In the first section, the researcher talked about the concept of artificial intelligence in language and terminology, and in the second section, the researcher discussed the characteristics of artificial intelligence In the second section, the researcher discussed the legal controls for the use of artificial intelligence in controlling crime. This section was divided into two topics. The first, the researcher talked about the legal regulation of the use of artificial intelligence in the Jordanian Code of Criminal Procedure In the second topic, the researcher talked about models of artificial intelligence and its impact on the criminal field. The researcher followed the descriptive analytical approach, which is the approach that aims to collect data from its primary sources, organize it, and compare it to arrive at recommendations that can be actually implemented 

The researcher reached a set of results, the most important of which is the lack of specific legal controls regulating the use of artificial intelligence systems. The researcher recommended the need to amend the Code of Criminal Procedure and include an explicit text on the use of artificial intelligence systems and determine the controls for its use
