Enhancing Digital Investigation: Leveraging ChatGPT for Evidence Identification and Analysis in Digital Forensics

The potential value of ChatGPT, more specifically GPT 3.5 and GPT 4, is assessed in locating evidence for digital investigation. Investigators can benefit from ChatGPT as a tool. With the help of ChatGPT, various evidence identification tasks, including evidence evaluation, interpretation of the language, conceptual comprehension, phrase and word extraction, criminal examination of communication patterns can be analysed. The research highlights how AI models can process enormous volumes of data, improving investigators speed and accuracy. Furthermore, it examines the advantages and consequences of employing ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) tools to find evidence, including the potential for efficiency and scalability. The findings shed light on ChatGPT's game-changing potential in the realm of digital forensics and offer suggestions for its responsible future growth. To ascertain the efficacy and efficiency of AI-based methods in this area, several articles that concentrate on ChatGPT Forensics Analysis Evidence Identification (CFA-EI) framework have been evaluated and reviewed.
