I’ve seen the new AI collar that lets your dog talk, and it’s as wild as it sounds
- The Shazam Band is an AI-powered collar containing speakers and sensors that lets your pet talk to you, just like the dogs in the Pixar movie UP can.
- You can also use the Shazam Band to track your pet if they wander off and it will alert you via text message if they get into danger.
- Shazam works for any type of pet that can fit the collar.
- The band contains a number of sensors and uses AI to articulate your pet’s mood, experience, and responses back to you as they’re happening.
- During your first 30 days of owning the Shazam Band, you get to try out 25 different personas before you have to settle on the one that best suits your pet.
- The potential for Shazam is clearly huge and the ethical considerations of anthropomorphizing your pet still need to be considered.
- The full GPS-enabled Shazam Band costs $595 and a less fully-featured version is available for $495 from shazampet.com.
- The idea behind Shazam is that it helps pets communicate in a way that can avert a tragedy.
- There have been no successful attempts at talking pet collars so far, but Shazam aims to get humans and animals talking once and for all.
- The live demo of Shazam was successful in interpreting the owner's emotions, but it's hard to say how well it works without testing it on one's own pet.
