Artificial intelligence’s big claim on human fingerprints

Scientists, researchers and common people have been believing for years that the fingerprints of each person’s hand are completely different and unique from another person, that’s why NADRA in Pakistan and other organizations around the world verify important documents. Check fingerprints for

But now the uniqueness of fingerprints is being questioned, recently challenged by a Columbia University study that used artificial intelligence.

A team at New York’s Columbia University trained an artificial intelligence tool to examine 60,000 fingerprints to determine which fingerprints belong to the same person, according to a foreign media report.

In the results of the study, the researchers claimed that this AI technology can identify with 75 to 90 percent accuracy which prints belong to the same person or not, but scientists cannot say for sure that this technology How does it work?

“It’s clear that artificial intelligence isn’t using the traditional markers that forensics have been using for decades, it seems to be like an angle in the center,” said Columbia robotics professor Hood Lipson, discussing the technology’s methodology. Someone is using something.’

According to the report, Graham Williams, professor of forensic science at the University of Hull, said that it has not been proven that fingerprints are always unique.

“We don’t actually know that fingerprints are unique, to our knowledge we can only say that no two people have ever shown identical fingerprints,” he said.

However, American researchers say that further research and studies are still needed on these findings, and currently, these findings are not expected to have any significant impact on the field of forensics.
