Project Seeker
AI-driven detection algorithm for computed tomography scanning systems using bespoke Microsoft AI to curb the trade.

The project can be analysed to build a comprehensive and detailed picture of illegal wildlife trafficking across the world. It has been developed in collaboration with the United Kingdom Border Force’s Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) team, London Heathrow Airport, as well as the Duke of Cambridge’s Royal Foundation.
