New Practice for Establishing Governance for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Systems in Forensic Science Disciplines
1. Scope
This standard provides minimum criteria for forensic science providers establishing governance documents for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in forensic science disciplines, in order to ensure effectiveness and reliability.
This standard delineates the framework of AI systems in a forensic science setting and the requirements for the use of these systems.
This standard provides a roadmap for the standardized deployment of AI processes in forensic settings, while addressing roles, accountability, risk management, trust, lifecycle management, and compliance.
The exploration of artificial intelligence and machine learning in forensic science applications is increasing. There are no minimum requirements for forensic laboratories establishing artificial intelligence systems in their laboratories. This standard sets the framework for how forensic science providers begin to establish these systems and how these systems should be used to maintain accountability and inspire public trust.
