Subject of the work: the topic of the research is relevant, since in the Russian Federation there are problems of organizational, legal and scientific-methodical support for forensic activities. The need is indicated and ways to improve the efficiency of this activity in the context of digitalization are shown. The goal is to study the organizational, legal and scientific-methodical problems of forensic activities, to develop ways to solve them in the context of digitalization. Methods: the research used methods of system-structural, comparative legal and statistical analysis, formal-logical, general scientific and specific scientific methods of scientific knowledge. Results: the need to reform forensic activities is proven. The possibilities of some innovative forensic methods and techniques are shown, in particular, attention is paid to the prospects for using the results of interdisciplinary scientific research, including with elements of Big Data technologies and artificial intelligence. Scope of application of the results: the results of the study can be used in the activities of forensic organizations, during training and advanced training courses for forensic experts and forensic specialists, when working to improve the legislation on forensic activities in the Russian Federation. Conclusions: specific recommendations are given for improving the organizational and legal regulation of forensic activities and areas of use of high-tech meth-ods and tools based on neural networks in the context of digitalization are shown.
