Abstract

The article examines the application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the investigation of crimes related to inadequate medical care. It analyzes the advantages and limitations of using AI, including enhancing the accuracy and speed of investigations, and discusses ethical and legal aspects. Practical examples are provided, and recommendations for integrating AI into legal and medical practice are proposed.
