Fingerprint analysis by AI could solve cold cases!
Fingerprint analysis by artificial intelligence could solve cold cases and overturn wrongful convictions. A new development that can identify whether prints from different fingers came from the same person has been made thanks to research from Columbia University, where a team trained an AI tool to examine 60,000 fingerprints to see if it could work out which ones belonged to the same individual. Researchers claim the technology can identify with 75 to 90 per cent accuracy, whether prints from different fingers came from one person – but admit they are not certain how it works.
