Mirko Casu, Luca Guarnera, Pasquale Caponnetto, Sebastiano Battiato

Abstract: Highlights•Cognitive biases impact decision-making in forensics and digital forensics.•Limited understanding of cognitive bias among forensic examiners.•Effective bias mitigation strategies include game-based interventions and LSU-E approach.•Generative Adversarial Networks and Diffusion Models deepfake detection methodologies and their performances.•The Impostor Bias is introduced as a concern that arises from the advances of Generative AI.
