This study explores public attitudes toward privacy in AI-powered fingerprint recognition systems. As biometric authentication becomes widespread, fingerprint recognition enhanced by artificial intelligence raises both opportunities for secure access and concerns about data privacy. For this study, a quantitative survey of 74 respondents (aged 13-60) was conducted to assess privacy concerns, trust in technology, perceived usefulness, and willingness to adopt. Results show that 73% of participants have used fingerprint systems and 56.8% are aware of AI’s role. However, only half feel secure using them on personal devices. On the aspect of willingness to share fingerprint data, most respondents expressed concern about misuse, replication of biometric data, and inadequate legal protections. Overall, the findings suggest that although AI-powered fingerprint systems are valued for their convenience and effectiveness, their adoption depends on transparency, ethical safeguards, and stronger regulatory frameworks to protect individual privacy.
