The article considers the procedure and peculiarities of application of software that uses machine learning models, deep learning and some other artificial intelligence capabilities, both in forging digital images of documents and in conducting forensic examinations with respect to such sources of information. Ways of masking the use of artificial intelligence tools in digital images of documents are studied. Description of a computer program developed to identify signs of the use of artificial intelligence tools in creating or editing digital images of documents by using the following tools: method of image analysis (Error Level Analysis, ELA); method of studying EXIF and XMP metadata; method of Photo Response Non-Uniformity (PRNU-analysis); methods of noise analysis and JPEG-traces; method of gradient analysis; method of image study with the use of neural network module "AI Patch Detector" - module-detector of inserts with the use of artificial intelligence is given. Factors influencing the spread of machine learning models, deep learning and some other possibilities of artificial intelligence in various types of activity are studied, the algorithms for working with these models are proposed to be implemented by experts specializing in the research of digital document images, with further development of appropriate methodological support.
