USE OF FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNIQUE IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS IN INDIA
Dr. Renu Pal Sood, Associate Professor, Shoolini University, Solan ( Himachal Pradesh)
Modern social relations are characterized by the widespread use of electronic means of information processing. Taking into account the intensive development of computer technologies, they are already demonstrating readiness to perform complex functions involving comprehensive solution to both technical and creative problems. Technologies named "Artificial Intelligence" are currently successfully used in various spheres of human life: from face recognition on a Smartphone screen to creating art and musical works "from scratch". Given these circumstances, in legal science more and more judgments are made about the need to use high-tech means in criminal proceedings, including for determining criminal punishment and other forms of criminal law influence against persons who have committed a socially dangerous act.[1]
At present, there is no official definition of the concept of "artificial intelligence" at the legislative level. In the legal literature, various judgments have been made on this matter. So, in accordance with one of them, the defining difference between artificial intelligence and an ordinary robot is the presence of thinking or lack of it. The concepts of thinking and mental activity are disclosed in paragraphs 3.23 and 3.24 of GOST R 43.0.5-2009. In particular, thinking is the psychophysiological processes of the operator's brain, including those related to internal speech, memory, functional mental sensory states, ensuring implementation of mental activity with initiation of naturally intellectualized, hybrid-intellectualized, artificially intellectualized human-information interactions that affect the emergence and functioning of information and exchange processes, carrying out the corresponding information and intellectual activities. Thus, artificial intelligence should be understood as the direction of information technology, which deals with the study and development of systems (machines), endowed with the capabilities of human intelligence.[2]
