New AI system can identify people from their walk - The Financial Express

Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify people by measuring their gait or walking pattern. The technology could be used at airport security instead of fingerprinting and eye-scanning. It can successfully verify an individual simply by analysing the footstep 3D and time-based data. The AI system, developed by researchers at University of Manchester in the UK and University of Madrid in Spain, correctly identified an individual almost 100 per cent of the time, with just a 0.7 error rate. Physical biometrics, such as fingerprints, facial recognition and retinal scans, are currently more commonly used for security purposes.
