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.
