| Summary: | Forensic science, particularly the authenticity of its role in the presentation of evidence in the law courts is at a critical juncture. Several challenges and solutions have been observed in this area, and this continues to evolve consistent with the increasing role of AI DNA technology in evidence presentation. Addition to this, even though significant advancements have been made in the forensic innovation since its original introduction, evidence on whether technology has enhanced the success and presentation of evidence is still insignificant. The main objectives of the study are firstly, to analyse the scopes of artificial intelligence DNA technology necessary to improve the forensic evidence presentation. Second, is to develop new artificial intelligence model to be used in DNA witnessing step which should improve the evidence presentation over traditional methods and thirdly, to validate the developed model of artificial intelligence technology by assessing the improvement in aligning DNA methods with evidence presentation. The scope of this study is focussing on the investigation at the two leading forensic DNA labs in UAE; the Forensic Biology Laboratory of the Forensic Evidence Department at Abu Dhabi Police and the Forensic Laboratory of the General Department of Forensic Science and Criminology Headquarters established by the Dubai Police. For the methods, a predominantly quantitative research methodology was considered with the support of an experiment to observe the developed artificial intelligence model in DNA witnessing over traditional methods. Beside the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach had been used to test the introduced model. The results show that: first, the existing technology do not moderate causation, laboratory standards, interpretation, and removal of coincidences in the presentation of evidence. This was observed even though the individual antecedents do contribute to the presentation of evidence. Second, it was found that technology is a significant predictor of the presentation of evidence. Finally, the experimentation revealed that the developed intelligent system has significant reach beyond current technology capabilities and remains instrumental to the presentation of evidence. It is concluded that existing technology may not have the capacity to moderate the contribution of causation laboratory standards, interpretation and removal of coincidences in the presentation of evidence. Feats, like the experimental intelligent system, must be pursued to ensure that technology plays an important role in DNA witnessing, to help improve the overall objectivity and authenticity of the witnessing process. |
