Unclear exactly what you're asking. The linked paper describes an algorithm (patent status unclear). That paper happens to link to a GPL licensed implementation whose authors explicitly solicit business licensing inquiries. The related model weights are available on Hugging Face (license unclear). Notably the HF readme file contains conflicting claims. The metadata block specifies apache while the body specifies GPL.

The paper says it is based on YOLOv8, which uses the even stricter AGPL-3.0. That means you can use it commercially, but all derived code (even in a cloud service) must be made open source as well.

Does GPL still mean anything if you can ask AI to read from code A and reimplement into code B?
