00:04Artificial intelligence is changing the way custom services work, but when Contribud is hidden,
00:10one of their oldest tools remains hard to replace – a trained dog's sense of smell.
00:15Skills that dogs have in detecting is something that AI cannot substitute.
00:22Maybe the result of the detection made by dogs can be used by AI for assessing, for establishing rules.
00:35AI can give an indication of which container to check.
00:39AI can even provide probably for better images over time in terms of predicting illegal content in containers.
00:50But a dog cannot be replaced.
00:53The threat is changing, too.
00:54Uzbek authorities say synthetic drugs have risen sharply since the pandemic, creating new demands for canine units.
01:01Synthetic geophantic facilities are used.
01:04Today, there is a lot of technical facilities.
01:08The technology and technology are also used in America.
01:12More than 50 countries are represented in Tashkent at the World Customs Organization's 7th Global Canine Forum,
01:18bringing together Customs, Border and Law Enforcement Services.
01:22What we are doing here, I believe, will help us very much to understand knowledge and information
01:28and to use them in the Greek data, in Greek practice.
01:32Uzbekistan is also showcasing its national canine center.
01:36It has trained dogs and handlers since 1996 and became a WCO regional canine center in 2008.
01:43The other people have been working with the
01:47Japanese, the British, the Russian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian, the
01:52Arabian, the Arabian, the Arabian.
01:54Doctors selected from an early age and tested for their reactions to noise, heights and unfamiliar environments.
02:01Specialized training begins from around 8 months and lasts another 6 to 7 months.
02:14The dogs are trained to recognize a target by scent.
02:18When they find it, they signal their handler by sitting, lying down or freezing in place.
02:22The National Canine Center of Uzbekistan has trained hundreds of foreign handlers and more than 200 service dogs for foreign
02:29services.
02:30Dogs trained here are already working with customs authorities in countries including South Korea and Tajikistan.
02:36This may look like play, but for these dogs, it's training for one of the most serious jobs at the
02:42border.
02:43The sense of smell can help custom officers find drugs, weapons, cash and other contraband, often hidden what scanners cannot
02:50easily reach.
02:51And as technology becomes more sophisticated, custom services around the world are still investing in this very old-fashioned four
02:59-legged technology.
