Abstract Abstract:

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has significantly transformed modern criminal justice systems, particularly in the collection, analysis, and presentation of evidence. AI-generated evidence, such as facial recognition outputs, predictive algorithms, and automated forensic analysis, is increasingly being relied upon in criminal investigations and trials. However, the admissibility of such evidence poses serious challenges to the traditional framework of the Law of Evidence, which was primarily designed to regulate human-generated and conventional electronic evidence. Existing legal provisions, including the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, do not expressly address AI-generated evidence, leading to uncertainty regarding its authenticity, reliability, transparency, and probative value. This research paper critically examines the admissibility of AI-generated evidence in criminal trials with reference to established evidentiary principles and constitutional guarantees of a fair trial. By analyzing statutory provisions, judicial precedents, and emerging legal concerns, the study highlights the limitations of the current legal framework and emphasizes the need for specific regulatory standards to govern the use of AI-generated evidence in criminal proceedings.
