Chinese tech giant Baidu has filed a patent for a system that aims to interpret vocal sounds, behavior, and physiological signals of animals through AI analysis.
The system is designed to enable cross-species communication and provide insights into the emotional state of pets rather than engage in full-fledged conversations.
Although the technology is still in the research stage, there have been previous attempts to translate animal noises, like using soundboards for dogs to express simple requests.
With AI technology progressing quickly, there is hope that innovations like Baidu's system could lead to a better understanding of animal communication.
