What's the real impact of AI on law enforcement documentation? Can digital forensics tools truly revolutionize our investigative processes? These are just some of the provocative questions we tackle in our season two premiere of Digital Forensics Now! Join us as we celebrate our one-year anniversary with reflections on the past year, exciting updates, and plans for the future.

The episode takes a deep dive into the ethical and practical implications of AI in law enforcement, sparked by a recent AP News article on police officers using AI chatbots for writing crime reports. We express our skepticism about AI's accuracy and discuss the vital need for human oversight. Examining AI’s influence on officers' recollection of events, this episode scrutinizes the potential pitfalls and ethical concerns associated with AI in policing. We also humorously critique some AI-generated descriptions of our podcast, shedding light on AI's current limitations and biases.
