Abstract

This research paper explores the increasing integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in criminal investigation mechanisms, with a particular focus on India while also drawing comparative insights from other countries like the UK, USA, and China. Using both quantitative and qualitative surveys and open-ended questions, the study gathers opinions from law students, legal professionals, and technical experts to capture diverse perspectives on the subject. The findings show that while many people trust AI’s ability to support crime detection, there are serious concerns about privacy, fairness, and bias. Case studies like that of USA, UK and China show how AI is already helping to solve crimes and manage legal work. However, the study also highlights the need for strong human oversight, strict regulations, and better public awareness. A theoretical framework is also developed within the study, outlining the evolution of AI in criminal investigations, mapping current global trends, analysing the associated ethical and technical challenges, and proposing potential solutions to address them. The paper concludes that while AI offers considerable promise in transforming legal systems and investigative methodologies, its implementation must be approached with caution, transparency, and a firm commitment to upholding fundamental rights and legal integrity.
