Introduction

Eyewitness identification is fraught with uncertainties. In United States v. Wade, Justice Brennan, writing for the majority of the United States Supreme Court, wrote that “the vagaries of eyewitness identification are well-known; the annals of criminal law are rife with instances of mistaken identification.”[1] This essay will analyze the approach to eyewitness identification in Manson v. Brathwaite, discuss the criticisms associated with the test, and propose suggestions to combat the pitfalls of eyewitness identification evidence.

The term Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) was first coined by John McCarthy,[1] who defined AI as the science and art of making intelligent machines, particularly computer programs.[2] In layman’s terms, AI is the science and engineering of making machines more intelligent and capable of performing more complex tasks. It is about obtaining patterns to make sense of big data.
