AI in the Prosecutor’s Office: A National Study of Digital Evidence, AI, and Prosecutorial Priorities

Developed jointly by the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) and NiCE Public Safety & Justice, this national benchmark study explores how prosecutors and prosecution professionals are responding to the rapidly growing volume and complexity of digital evidence—and where artificial intelligence may help. Drawing on insights from 420 respondents across jurisdictions of every size, the report examines prosecutors’ operational priorities, the AI capabilities they value most, and the trust, governance, security, and readiness considerations shaping adoption.
