- Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of digital forensics, the integration of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) stands as a transformative
technology, poised to amplify the efficiency and precision of digital forensics
investigations. However, the use of ML and AI in digital forensics is still in
its nascent stages. As a result, this paper gives a thorough and in-depth
analysis that goes beyond a simple survey and review. The goal is to look
closely at how AI and ML techniques are used in digital forensics and incident
response. This research explores cutting-edge research initiatives that cross
domains such as data collection and recovery, the intricate reconstruction of
cybercrime timelines, robust big data analysis, pattern recognition,
safeguarding the chain of custody, and orchestrating responsive strategies to
hacking incidents. This endeavour digs far beneath the surface to unearth the
intricate ways AI-driven methodologies are shaping these crucial facets of
digital forensics practice. While the promise of AI in digital forensics is
evident, the challenges arising from increasing database sizes and evolving
criminal tactics necessitate ongoing collaborative research and refinement
within the digital forensics profession. This study examines the contributions,
limitations, and gaps in the existing research, shedding light on the potential
and limitations of AI and ML techniques. By exploring these different research
areas, we highlight the critical need for strategic planning, continual
research, and development to unlock AI's full potential in digital forensics
and incident response. Ultimately, this paper underscores the significance of
AI and ML integration in digital forensics, offering insights into their
benefits, drawbacks, and broader implications for tackling modern cyber
threats.
