Today it is globally known that it is a modern era of Artificial Intelligence. There is a great impact of Artificial Intelligence on the society as we are surrounded by technology. It is being observed that in Today's time, Artificial Intelligence has turned out to be technically friendly due to increasing demand in the Tech Industry. Artificial intelligence may greatly increase the efficiency of the existing economy. But it may have an even larger impact by serving as a new general-purpose "method of invention" that can reshape the nature of the innovation process and the organization of R&D. Artificial Intelligence holds the ability to search, accumulate, analyse, manipulate and make decisions based on interpretations done. Digital Forensics is now adopting this technology to spot the patterns of online security attacks and threats that can be caused to the user browsing online on servers. These patterns may include Browsing History of servers, Credit Checks, Purchasing Histories, Online Payments and Transactions made by the user etc. To secure the users from various cyber threats and attacks we need to move to a new Tech Gateway for Cyber Forensics-"Artificial Intelligence". Today various Government Organizations like Police Cyber Cell, Joint Cipher Bureau, CBI Cyber Cell etc. are standing on the bleeding fringe of AI. The current globalization and technological advancements have meant that individual users, companies and organizations frequently need to adapt their internal cyber structure and operating cyber processes, to demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness of AI, especially when considering aspects that are beyond Tech Crimes, such as Cyber Hacking, User Account Penetration etc. To cope with that, this work proposes an alternative to model the evolution of AI in the field of Cyber Forensics. This paper highlights the role of Artificial Intelligence particularly in field of Digital Forensics, its application in different areas of Digital Forensic Processes and statistical facts relevant to this domain.
