AI has been taught to forge handwriting

However, OEA scientists note that the technology could be used by malicious people. “We will have to raise public awareness and develop tools to fight fakes,” MBZUAI Associate Professor Hisham Cholakkal said. According to the scientists, they have a lot of work to do. Thus, the model has already learned to copy handwritten texts in English and French, but is not yet able to analyse text in Arabic.

Earlier, scientists at Columbia University said that AI helped them find a new marker in determining the uniqueness of fingerprints. Thanks to this, the accuracy of fingerprint recognition has improved.
