Background and Motivation: Cloud forensics, i.e., an area of digital forensics, is dedicated to investigating and evaluating digital evidence within the context of cloud computing environments. The process entails the utilization of forensic methodologies to collect, examine, and preserve electronic evidence from infrastructure, platforms, and cloud services. In other words, cloud forensics addresses the challenges associated with investigating digital incidents, collecting evidence, and ensuring legal compliance in cloud computing environments. The expanding utilization of cloud computing services by organizations, enterprises, and individuals has elevated the significance of cloud forensics. In light of the increasing migration of data and critical operations to cloud environments, it is critical to comprehend and effectively tackle the distinct challenges associated with incident investigation and digital evidence management. Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds significant importance in today’s world across various sectors, influencing the way we live, work, and interact. AI is a transformative force that is reshaping industries, enhancing productivity, and contributing to innovations across diverse domains. AI plays a pivotal role in revolutionizing cloud forensics, offering advanced capabilities to address the dynamic and complex challenges associated with digital investigations in cloud computing environments. AI algorithms can analyze massive datasets, detect anomalies in user behavior, and provide predictive insights, aiding investigators in identifying security incidents and potential threats. The dynamic nature of cloud environments benefits from AI’s ability to adapt to evolving threats, ensuring that forensic analysis remains effective in the face of emerging challenges. Research on AI for cloud forensics is a burgeoning field that seeks to address the evolving complexities of digital investigations in cloud computing environments.
