AI emotion recognition technology is revolutionizing animal welfare by interpreting vocalisations, body language, and facial expressions to decode animal emotions.
The technology is already being used in livestock management, conservation efforts, and ethical care practices, providing real-time monitoring and early health detection for animals.
An example of AI monitoring a distressed pig showcases the ability to detect signs of distress before visible symptoms appear, highlighting the technology's ability to interpret subtle cues often missed by humans.
While AI advancements offer potential in animal welfare, they also raise ethical concerns regarding privacy and consent in using technology for understanding and caring for animals.
