Spotted by AI: seahorses and shark fins

A new AI-driven tool has been developed to detect marine wildlife such as sea cucumbers, seahorses, and shark fins hidden in luggage and bags at airports, part of a broader effort to curb illegal wildlife trafficking that usually gets less attention than ivory or rhino horn.

Researchers say the system is meant to supplement, not replace, human inspectors, serving as a second set of eyes while more species are added to its detection list over time.
