Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made important revelations about fingerprints on human hands, AI technology says that fingerprints on our hands are not unique.
Scientists have long been researching how human fingerprints come into being, but artificial intelligence systems have disproved the idea that all human fingerprints are unique.
For a long time, scientists, researchers and ordinary people have believed that the fingerprints of each person’s hand are completely different and unique from another person, that’s why NADRA in Pakistan and other institutions around the world on important documents. Check fingerprints for authentication.
But the uniqueness of these fingerprints is now being questioned, recently challenged by a Columbia University study that used artificial intelligence.
British Broadcasting Corporation The BBC A team at New York’s Columbia University trained an artificial intelligence tool to examine 60,000 fingerprints to determine which fingerprints belonged to the same person, reports .
In some cases, the marks were from two different fingers of a person’s hands, while in some cases, the marks were from other people.
Over time, the computer identified these unique prints that appeared to be two different fingerprints but belonged to the same hand, something that had never been done before.
In the study, published in the journal Science Advances, Gabo and his colleagues said that our main finding is the similarity between different fingerprints of the same person.
These results are the same for all combinations of fingers, even if the fingers belong to different hands of the same person.
In the results of the study, the researchers claimed that the AI technology could identify with 75 to 90 percent accuracy which prints belonged to the same person, but scientists could not say for sure that the 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 something like an angle in the center,” said Hod Lipson, a Columbia robotics professor who discussed the technology’s methodology. using thing.
Graham Williams, professor of forensic science at the University of Hull, told the BBC 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.
