Abstract

This article aimed to determine the effectiveness of (Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition and Data Analysis, and Fire Dynamics Simulations) in improving the results of arson investigations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The research relied on the descriptive method. The study community consisted of all members of the teams specializing in fire investigations. The research sample was taken using a simple random method that included (74) individuals from the research community. The researcher relied on the questionnaire as the main instrument for collecting data from the study sample. The results of the study showed that artificial intelligence techniques (Machine Learning, Artificial Neural Networks, Pattern Recognition and Data Analysis, and Fire Dynamics Simulations) can be effective in improving the results of arson investigations. The study recommended providing training programs to investigators on how to make full use of AI techniques in the investigation process.
