The Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM) and other bodies have published guidelines that specify empirical studies to be performed to assess reliability, identify limitations and develop suitable usage conditions for probabilistic genotyping systems. In this installment of the web series Probabilistic Genotyping of Evidentiary DNA Typing Results, we discuss the intent of each validation requirement and provide examples of their execution, as well as resulting data and how they can be used to develop standard operating procedures within the forensic DNA testing laboratory.
This webinar is part 5 of of the Probabilistic Genotyping Of Evidentiary DNA Typing Results Webinar Series and was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on May 29, 2019.

AI systems are advancing faster than expected and the next few years could redefine what we mean by intelligence. Will progress continue through scale alone, or are new breakthroughs in algorithms, data and agentic interaction needed to reshape the path ahead?
As models begin to learn, plan and act in digital and physical environments, what kind of intelligence are we creating and how will it shape humanity?
