The Possibility of Using Artificial Intelligence in the Process of Composite Sketching

The article aims to present the latest technological achievements in the context of the possibility of their use in supporting detection activities carried out by law enforcement authorities. The dynamic development of exact sciences, including computer science, is one of the determinants of the pace and direction of development of forensic science. It has a direct impact, i.a., on the rules of making a composite sketch of an unknown perpetrator of the crime, an art known since ancient times. Through a review of the recent literature, the author aims to present the possibilities of using artificial intelligence (AI) in the process of creating a visual representation of the body, and in particular the appearance of the face, of an unknown perpetrator. Moreover, the article attempts to precisely determine the legal nature of the act of making a composite sketch.
