With the development of artificial intelligence in legal and judicial fields, the use of this technology in the preliminary investigation phase and crime proofing has become possible. This study, adopting a descriptive-analytical approach, examines the validity of AI-generated evidence based on the principles of Imamiyyah jurisprudence and Iranian law, analyzing the governing conditions of such evidence.

The application of artificial intelligence in judicial processes can lead to reduced case processing time, increased accuracy in data analysis, and minimized human error. Additionally, this technology facilitates faster and more precise decision-making by extensively processing information and comparing it with judicial precedents. Furthermore, greater tra  arency and reduced corruption are among its advantages.

However, certain conditions, such as accountability in case of errors, judicial independence, data security, and privacy protection, require careful consideration. According to the Islamic Penal Code enacted in ۲۰۱۳, the means of proving a crime have been specified, making the position of AI-based evidence within this legal framework a subject of deliberation.

By reviewing the experiences of other countries, this study demonstrates that artificial intelligence, if properly designed and supervised, can enhance the judicial system’s efficiency, facilitate the process of justice, and serve as an auxiliary tool in the judge’s knowledge acquisition.
