Once I was struck by Mark Tegmark’s line of reasoning. I have already told you about my impressions of his “Life 3.0”. The author explores the extraordinary possibilities of artificial intelligence, pointing out the limitations of our species. Harnessing the almost unimaginable power of neural networks can have remarkable and potentially disastrous consequences, but it is at the forefront of developments that I would very much like to be a part of. To this end, I recently took part in a research project led by a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Ryan M. Sander, who combined my two passions – to creatively reorient the human experience with the help of technology and solve complex problems. We programmed a neural network in Python using the Keras library, which can compare scanned and saved fingerprints, and I designed and built a fingerprint scanning device to test it.
