On the feasibility of progressive digitalization of domestic criminal proceeding

This article discusses issues related to the digitalization of certain parts of criminal proceedings. Evidence and proving in criminal proceedings perform fundamental functions aimed at establishing the truth in a criminal case. Therefore, it is necessary to improve them to meet modern realities, saturating them with the results of scientific and technical achievements. In the course of the research, the authors used general scientific, statistical, logical, as well as a number of other methods of scientific cognition: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization and description. The authors, using official statistical data on the number of crimes committed, through the use of the Internet information and telecommunications network, call for the need for timely digital transformation of criminal procedural evidence. In this article, the authors have attempted a digital transformation of individual means of proof. The scientific works of Russian scientists who propose to use artificial intelligence to perform the tasks of the criminal process are analyzed. The positive aspects of using artificial intelligence technology for the needs of criminal proceedings are substantiated. The paper proposes to abandon filling out statistical cards manually by the subjects of proof, making this process automated by using artificial intelligence technology. The authors argue the position related to recording the progress and results of the investigative action using tablets.
