Digital forensics, also known as "computer forensics," is one of the fastest-growing professional fields in the world. Experts who can protect the computer systems and mobile devices of companies, individuals, and government organizations are in high demand. Digital forensics experts can, and do, solve crimes using digital evidence they find on cell phones, computers, and on the Internet. From stopping the theft of personal information to protecting children from Internet predators, digital forensics experts work to safeguard the public and prevent crime. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are already contributing to cyber safety and offer more crime-prevention potential in the future, from real-life robocops to facial recognition technology that might allow you to buy groceries with a glance to verify who you are.
