NPS AImEx: AI-supported identification of New Psychoactive Substances using GC-EI-MS
NPS AImEx brings together artificial intelligence and forensic expertise to identify new psychoactive substances from GC-EI-MS data. Developed by the German Federal Criminal Police Office, Quantistry and ChemInnovation, the project combines database matching with AI-supported structural suggestions. A prototype based on NXT Spectra technology demonstrated its potential in four forensic challenges, highlighting both its capabilities and limitations. Close collaboration with laboratories will guide further development, with transparency and expert judgement at the core.
