AI can extract fingerprints from selfies, threatening biometric privacy

AI can now extract fingerprints from selfies, raising biometric privacy concerns. Security experts warn that advanced AI can analyze fingerprint details from clear images of hands, potentially reconstructing partial prints. This is possible due to improved image processing and high-resolution phone cameras. While not all selfies pose a risk, the permanent nature of fingerprints makes any potential compromise significant, especially with their widespread use in digital security.
