Abstract
Although not necessarily (and not everywhere in the same way) what is
ethical is legal, and vice-versa, ethics and law are at the hearth of
human societies since their dawn, and their relations have been studied
for centuries. This is not the case for the relations between ethics and
more recent disciplines like Digital Forensics (DF) and Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where the ethical question has been necessarily
raised much more recently. Despite their short history, "Ethics in AI"
and "Ethics in DF" are emerging as two among the biggest issues of this
millenium.
The technologies that drive AI and DF are almost the same all over the
world, but law changes from country to country, and not only different
cultures follow different ethical principles, but also different
individuals belonging to the same cultural group do. When AI is
exploited in the domains of DF and Law, their interplay, along with the
interplay with specific cultural aspects, makes the ethical question
extremely delicate and complex, and for this reason extremely urgent, to
address.
The DigForASP COST Action (Digital forensics: evidence analysis via
intelligent systems and practices, CA17124, launched on 10th September
2018 for 4 years), thanks to its strongly interdisciplinary nature, is a
perfect framework for conversating on AI, DF, Law and Ethics.
In this two days event, judges, lawyers, experts of DF, of AI, and of
data privacy will share their point of view on the ethical threats that
the adoption of intelligent automated techniques may bring to their
profession on the one hand, and how to mitigate them and turn them into
opportunities, on the other.
