In the era of new technologies, used in the field of criminal justice, the forensic science has passed real challenges facing those means of gathering and administering scientific evidence in criminal proceedings. Artificial intelligence and how it meets the judiciary is a well-known question for the high-tech in the field. The current paper aims at analyzing and discussing the features the judicial activity in criminal matters is characterized with during the criminal proceedings. The most important elements of new technologies come to state the consequences that they produce in criminal cases investigated by means of forensic evidence including new digital technologies. In order to achieve the proposed goal of the current paper, certain main purposes have been highlighted, which consist particularly in the procedure of using methods of forensic science for the investigation of crimes, as well as elements of new means of technologies including artificial intelligence. The proposed topic is carried out through qualitative research methods conducted on approaching challenges of the forensic science facing new technologies, combined with in-depth elements of criminal proceedings.
