CALI putting on another educational webinar. Come check it out.

Join us for the upcoming CALI webinar, “AI Use for Digital Investigators from a Skeptic and an Enthusiast’s Perspective.”

Webinar Date & Time
Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. (PT)

Speakers
Amber Schroader, CEO & Founder, Paraben Corporation
Greg Kipper, VP of Cyber, Paraben Corporation

Integrating AI into investigations creates a compelling "risk vs. reward" dichotomy. This session explores that impact through two distinct perspectives: the early adopter, who views AI as a powerful tool for efficiency and discovery, and the skeptic, who highlights concerns regarding inherent bias, ethical lapses, and technical limitations. We will analyze whether AI’s ability to process massive datasets and identify patterns outweighs the risks of "black box" algorithms and compromised objectivity. By weighing these contrasting views, the presentation aims to determine if AI is destined to be an indispensable ally that revolutionizes the field or a detrimental detractor that undermines investigative integrity. Join us to navigate the future of digital and physical intelligence.
