AI can tell if prints from two different fingers belong to same person

Artificial intelligence can accurately identify whether or not fingerprints left by different fingers came from the same person. This could help forensic investigators uncover if one individual was present at separate crime scenes. Current technologies are only capable of matching fingerprints left by the same finger. But previous studies have hinted there may be fundamental similarities between all of a person's fingertips. How this moment for AI will change society forever (and how it won't) So, Gabe Guo at Columbia University in New York and his colleagues trained a machine learning model to determine if it could identify whether fingerprints from different fingers belong to the same person.
