Scientists launched DinoTracker, an AI app that identifies dinosaur footprints with about 90% agreement with human experts.
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh and Helmholtz-Zentrum trained the system using 2,000 unlabelled footprint silhouettes.
The AI compares eight shape features to group similar tracks without relying on potentially incorrect labels.
Users can upload footprints, explore similar prints, and test how shape changes affect classification.
The results support earlier findings that some Triassic tracks look birdlike, though their origin remains debated.
