Researchers have developed an AI system capable of identifying illegally trafficked marine wildlife products within airport baggage scans. The AI, trained on CT scans of shark fins, dried seahorses, and sea cucumbers, achieved an overall accuracy rate of 92% in detecting these items. This technology aims to assist security personnel by flagging suspicious items, though it is intended to complement, not replace, human expertise. AI
IMPACT Enhances security screening capabilities for detecting illicit wildlife trade, potentially disrupting criminal networks.
