SINGAPORE: A new mobile application launched yesterday (June 7) will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to help enforcement officers streamline their fight against illegally traded shark and ray fins coming through Singapore.

Fin Finder is able to identify the shark or ray species when users upload a photo of a fin on the app. The app’s algorithm does this by analysing the shape and patterns on the fin, similar to AI’s capability to process facial recognition.
