Abstract

The rapid development of artificial intelligence not only changed the nature of the phenomenon of cyber-crime, but also gave important burdens on the modern legal systems in terms of the evidence. In India, the growing popularity of deepfakes, ransomware attacks, automated intrusion-detection technologies, and identity-spoofing technologies make digital evidence less and less authenticable, preservable, and presentable in court. The available legislative means such as the Indian Evidence Act Section 65B was designed to handle traditional electronic records and cannot effectively deal with the instability, manipulation, and artificial creation of modern data.

Keywords
