Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum in Germany have developed DinoTracker, a free app that uses artificial intelligence to analyze dinosaur footprints without assuming which species made them. Older AI systems were trained on tracks that humans had already labeled, which may be wrong, since dinosaurs rarely leave their signatures and two forms of identification next to their footprints.
