Researchers got fingerprints checked with AI.
For this, 60 thousand fingerprints were asked to be examined.
AI did not show 100 percent accuracy.
How will AI check whether two people have the same fingerprint? Recently, when American researchers conducted this investigation, strange results came to light and there was an uproar. The situation became such that when researchers sent their research paper for publication, it was rejected by the editorial board. At the same time, researchers say that the results need to be taken seriously. This whole matter has once again cast out the ghost of the debate whether two people can have identical fingerprints or not.
AI and fingerprint
It was established that the fingerprints of every person are unique and the fingerprints of two people cannot match. The researchers decided to take the help of AI for this and tried to know how AI sees this whole matter and what results it gives.
special experiment
For this special study, scientists conducted a special experiment. According to the BBC report, researchers trained an AI tool and asked it to examine 60 thousand fingerprints to see how many of these 60 thousand fingerprints belonged to the same person. AI investigated in its own way and gave results.

The result surprised
The AI tool identified it with an accuracy of 75 to 90 percent. Whereas each person’s fingerprints are different. But there was a big problem in why there was discrepancy in the results. Researchers say that the AI tool analyzed fingerprints in a different way rather than in the traditional way.
Don’t you know how
The interesting thing is that researchers do not know very well how AI derived its results. But he clearly admitted that AI did not investigate fingerprints the way traditional markers or forensic methods do. He also said that he would say that till now the fingerprints of no two people have been found to be the same.
The results of this study were so shocking that a forensic journal rejected it for publication. But researchers say that these results are so important that they cannot be ignored. The BBC report says that the results of the research could impact both forensic science and biometrics.
