Abstract

The advent of big data and artificial intelligence has led to the elaboration of computational psychiatry. In parallel, great progress has been made with extended reality (XR) technologies. In this article, we propose to build a forensic cyberphysical system (CPS) that, with a data lake as its computational and data repository core, will support clinical and research efforts in forensic psychiatry, this in both intramural and extramural settings. The proposed CPS requires offender's data (notably clinical, behavioural and physiological), but also emphasises the collection of such data in various XR contexts. The same data would be used to train machine and deep learning, artificial intelligence, algorithms. Beyond the direct feedback these algorithms could give to forensic specialists, they could help build forensic digital twins. They could also serve in the fine tuning of XR usage with offenders. This paper concludes with human-centered cybersecurity concerns and opportunities the same CPS would imply. The proximity between a forensic and XR-supported CPS and social engineering will be addressed, and special consideration will be given to the opportunity for situational awareness training with offenders. We conclude by sketching ethical and implementation challenges that would require future inquiring.
