https://doi.org/10.52425/25187252_2026_39_131

Abstract

In accordance with the Strategic Development Plan of Kazakhstan, approved by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, law enforcement and judicial authorities have been tasked with ensuring a gradual transition of criminal cases to electronic format. Here, digitalization opens up new prospects for the development of criminal procedural legislation.

The transition to digital format for criminal proceedings contributes to saving financial resources, accelerates investigation timelines, reduces risks of falsification, and increases transparency in the process. The implementation of artificial intelligence at the stage of pre-trial investigation will help predict possible scenarios for crime development, reduce time spent on routine tasks, and focus on more complex aspects of investigations. The use of digital tools minimizes human errors. With a high degree of probability, we are inclined to believe that in the near future there will be a process of testing other investigative actions in a remote format.

The article analyzes the implementation of digital technologies in the pre-trial investigation process in the Republic of Kazakhstan. It covers various aspects, including the advantages and disadvantages of using remote investigative actions, as well as the role of artificial intelligence.

The article discusses some directions for optimizing criminal proceedings, identifies a number of problems, and proposes possible solutions.
