Your Smartphone Could Recognize You by How You Hold It

By New Scientist, August 22, 2022

An algorithm trained to identify people from the vibrations of their hands did so with more than 90% accuracy.

A group of researchers at France's Toulouse Institute of Computer Science Research trained an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered algorithm to identify persons based on patterns in their hand vibrations when holding a smartphone.

Over 200 volunteers each held a smartphone while its sensors gathered data during either a 30-second session or a series of sessions.

The AI analyzed roughly half of this data to formulate how best to distinguish individual users, then was tested on the other half to identify specific persons.

The algorithm identified test subjects correctly about 92.5% of the time within 1.5 seconds across 1,100 tests.

Thoughts on AI in the Future of Work

How much and in what context will the human touch be most important? Ultimately an important aspect.  Seeing some testing of that now.

Does the Human Touch + AI = The Future of Work?

Artificial intelligence has long caused fear of job loss across many sectors as companies look for ways to cut costs, support workers and become more profitable.  But new research suggests that even in STEM-based sectors like cybersecurity, AI simply can’t replace some traits found only in humans, such as creativity, intuition and experience.

There’s no doubt, AI certainly has its place.  And most business leaders agree that AI is important to the future success of their company. A recent survey found CEOs believe the benefits of AI include creating better efficiencies (62 percent), helping businesses remain competitive (62 percent), and allowing organizations to gain a better understanding of their customers, according to Ernst and Young.

And AI is already having a real impact across many industries including healthcare, financial services, retail, automotive, and critical infrastructure. According to a recent report by KPMG, AI improves access to medical care in healthcare, detects fraud in financial institutions, mitigates customer service issues in retail and improves traffic management systems in transportation.  ....
