How does AI recognise you out of 7.5 billion people?

Biometrics is one of the 5 core technologies of artificial intelligence. Its essence is that the AI recognises a person based on their unique personal characteristics. It can be DNA, fingerprints, iris, voice, handwriting and even the way you walk!

How does biometrics work?
Let's take your smartphone as an example of how face identification works. First, the AI scans your face with a video sensor. It then analyses the details of the image and generates a digital model of the face. Finally, the AI correlates the information from the analysis to the device owner and decides whether or not to unlock it.

Where is biometrics used?
Public security. Biometric data is used to recognise criminals, e.g. by facial recognition, in public places. Also, people who have broken the law will not be able to cross the border of the country.
Mobile payments and online banking. You can pay for a purchase, transfer funds and even take a loan by confirming your identity with biometric data, e.g. a fingerprint.
Healthcare. Patients' biometric data are collected in a single database. In this way, medical institutions determine the probability of a disease occurrence, store the patient's history of diagnoses and optimise the treatment process.
Human resources management. The AI determines what time a person arrives at work, how much time they spend on tasks, and provides secure access to office tools, documents and premises.
Biometric passports. Such a document is equipped with a microchip and biometric data, such as fingerprints and cornea. Today, you can get such a passport in almost every country in the world!

And this is just a small number of examples of the use of biometrics!
In 2021, developments based on biometrics will be incorporated into everyday processes. Modern technology offers new opportunities for everyone!
