A new study using a machine learning model combined with an artificial neural network claims that 12.7% of marine teleost fish are on the brink of extinction. It is a fivefold increase in comparison to the previous estimate of about 2.5% by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Sinc agency revisited the research to better understand the implications of this updated extinction status, which includes nearly 5,000 additional species. The IUCN maintains a List of Threatened Species to track more than 150,000 species and guide conservation efforts globally. It uses nine categories to classify species under threat, … Continue reading New AI Model Reveals 12.7% of Marine Fish Could Disappear, a Dramatic Jump from IUCN’s 2.5% Estimate
