Alternative title, ‘Artificial Intelligence in Digital Forensics: What is behind the buzz?’ And I’m saying this a little bit provocative, because currently, there are so many talks about artificial intelligence out there that I am getting sometimes really on what is promised and what expectations are raised. In my presentation, I would like to take the chance to give you a little bit more deeper insight.
