The advancement of cybercrime has required the State to adopt increasingly sophisticated investigative tools, among which artificial intelligence (AI) stands out as a resource with significant operational potential. This article examines the application of algorithmic systems in criminal investigations within digital environments, focusing on the legal implications arising from this technological incorporation in the Brazilian legal framework. The study adopts a qualitative approach, based on bibliographic and normative review, analyzing the compatibility between the use of AI and the fundamental rights and guarantees established by the 1988 Federal Constitution and related legislation. The analytical capabilities of AI are discussed, particularly in the large-scale processing of data and the identification of suspicious behavioral patterns, as well as the challenges associated with its use in investigative contexts. The research highlights the tension between technological efficiency and principles such as human dignity, due process, adversarial proceedings, and the presumption of innocence. It also addresses the opacity of algorithmic systems and the risks of reproducing discriminatory biases within the criminal justice system. The study concludes that the use of AI requires appropriate regulation, transparency in decision-making processes, and effective oversight mechanisms to ensure compliance with fundamental rights.
