Every cold case represents a family still searching for answers and investigators determined to find them. Advances in artificial intelligence are giving agencies new ways to revisit decades-old evidence, uncover overlooked connections and accelerate investigative workflows without replacing the expertise of detectives.

Join investigators from the Cold Case Foundation alongside AI experts from Veritone for a practical discussion on how agencies are applying AI to organize and analyze massive volumes of digital evidence, identify investigative leads, build timelines and spend more time solving cases instead of searching for information.

* Please note the Q and A portion of the webinar will only be available for live event attendees.
