Researchers are training AI to interpret animal emotions
Artificial intelligence could ultimately help us understand when animals have pain or show other emotions – at least according to researchers Recently profiled In science.
For example, there is that the Intellipig system is developed by scientists at the University of West of England Bristol and the national college of Scotland, which investigates photos of the faces of pigs and brings farmers if there are signs of pain, illness or be emotional need.
And a team from the University of Haifa – a team behind face recognition software that has already been used to help people find lost dogs – is now training AI to identify signs of discomfort on their faces that share that share 38% From facial movements with people.
These systems rely on people to do the first work of identifying the meanings of different animal behavior (usually based on long observation of animals in different situations). But recently a researcher at the University of São Paulo experimented with the use of photos of the faces of horses before and after the operation and after and after they took painkillers – training an AI system to concentrate on their eyes, ears and mouths – And says it was able to learn for yourself which signs can indicate pain with a success rate of 88%.
