Criminalistics — from scientific findings of Mykhailo Vasylovych Saltevskyi up to artificial intelligence

Abstract

This paper will present the contribution of Mykhailo Vasylovych Saltevskyi to the development of the theory of criminalistics. The development of criminalistics from the time when outstanding scientists worked to the present is studied. The main emphasis is placed on the development and application of information technologies and artificial intelligence in criminalistics. It is emphasized that scientific criminalistic thought can be qualitatively developed by scientists who, first of all, are concerned not only with issues of theoretical developments but first of all develop the ethical foundations of science, without which modern and complex methods and technologies would not be applicable.
