AI Technology Decodes Pig Sounds to Enhance Animal Welfare, Part of #AIForGood

Oct 27, 2024, 01:00 AM

Researchers are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to decode the sounds made by pigs, such as oinks and grunts, to understand their emotions and improve their welfare. This innovative technology aims to enhance farming practices by providing insights into pigs' emotional states, potentially leading to happier and healthier animals. The AI tool could eventually be available as an app for farmers, allowing them to monitor and respond to the emotional well-being of their pigs in real-time. This development could revolutionize animal welfare and conservation efforts by enabling better communication between humans and animals. The initiative is part of the #AIForGood movement, supported by SwissCognitive.
