Abstract: The topicality of the research question is attributable to the social and legal importance of the criminal procedural form development in the context of the digitalization of society. Since it is a natural process caused by the milestones of our time, digitalization is actively penetrating the sphere of criminal procedural relations, with the desire of their subjects not being taken into consideration. Procedural scientists today are concerned about global issues for the expediency of the practical use of digitalization and its efficiency, as well as the prospects for the transition to e-filing in criminal cases, the creation of “electronic courts”, the automation of the functionality of participants in criminal proceedings, the use of artificial intelligence in the criminal procedural activities, and others. At the same time, both the categories of electronic evidence, electronic media and the procedure for their application in criminal proceedings have long been perceived as well-established. The purpose of the research is to study the development and transformation of the criminally-remedial form in the context of the digitalization of society. The main findings of the study are to substantiate the positive prospects for digitalization of criminal proceedings, which results in reducing the workload on the officers automating elementary functional of actions; simplification of working with big data, providing quick search, collection, storage and processing of information; implementation of ranked access to information for all parties to the criminal process, based on their procedural status; effective control and supervision over the activities of the bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation, etc. However, with all the advantages taken into consideration, while choosing between digitalization and human needs, priority must be given to the individual, since the former is a means of facilitating the activity of the latter, and not replacing or excluding them
