"Zain's Fingerprint"… A Short Film presented as one of the Graduation Projects by the students of the Radio and Television Department, Faculty of Mass Communication —MTI University, Spring Semester,

In an era where technology and crime interfere, Dr. Abdel Latif and his partner Dr. Mostafa launch "Egypt AI Core" application to be the first Arabic system for dark-web crimes tracking.

However, as ambition usually invokes unforeseen risks; Dr. Abdel Latif got kidnapped, at the same moment when Zain, a technically gifted university teaching assistant wakes up to a real nightmare; as a video was fabricated using Deep Fake technology, showing him killing his professor, thereby turning him into a red-handed wanted criminal in hours.

"Zain's Fingerprint" film conveys a crucial message concerning the mixed-blessing of modern technology, asserting how artificial intelligence and Deep Fake technologies could be exploited as powerful means for good; tracking and fighting crimes, or a destructive weapon; falsifying facts and defaming innocent people.
