Looking ahead, Lee acknowledges the impact of artificial intelligence but emphasizes that human expertise remains essential. "Artificial intelligence has many practical applications in forensic investigation, from evidence identification to crime scene reconstruction. However, human wisdom and experience remain irreplaceable in scene analysis and case evaluation," he says.
He also envisions breakthroughs in DNA technology. "Perhaps one day, a single drop of blood could not only reveal the identity of its donor but also his or her facial features, age, and even fingerprint patterns," he says, predicting a future of integrated forensic identification and anticipating the comprehensive convergence of DNA analysis with other biometric identifiers.
For the younger generations, Lee offers both encouragement and caution. "In this era, social media is filled with prevalent fake news and cybercrimes, thus forensic professionals face greater pressure. If you choose this path, be prepared to stand firm in your principles."
