Abstract: With the rapid development of the information technology, artificial intelligence has empowered various industries. Forensic appraisal industry is not an exception, which is undergoing significant and rapid changes. To take advantages of technological characteristics of artificial intelligence fully, and apply it to forensic appraisal with a better, standardized and efficient way is a continuously-discussed topic among professional people. Firstly this article introduces basic concept and development history of artificial intelligence technology and describes its impact towards traditional forensic appraisal briefly, as well as the policy innovations and changes made by judicial authorities to face and adapt to new challenges. Secondly, an in-depth discussion about opportunities and assistance brought by artificial intelligence is proposed from multiple perspectives, including appraisal technology and auxiliary procedures, starting from the forensic appraisal in the “Four Categories”. Finally, the article analyzes issues and challenges in depth which forensic appraisal may encounter from various aspects such as application challenges and practical difficulties.
