Good news for pet lovers! Researchers are now using artificial intelligence (AI) that may soon be able to translate what your cat or dog is saying to you. 

Daniel Mills, a veterinary behavioural medicine professor at the University of Lincoln, has highlighted the potential for AI to interpret what your pet could be saying to you, suggesting that AI could teach us much about the pets’ intentions, according to a report by The Guardian.

The research uses AI to study facial expressions in cats, dogs, and horses using a plethora of videos available online.

Mills said the latest research highlighted the complexity of feline facial manoeuvres, adding that new technology could help to unpick them.

AI's potential in deciphering animal communication goes beyond pets. Researchers, including Briefer, utilize AI to analyze vocalizations in a range of animals, such as zebras, white rhinos, and parakeets. This research explores communication patterns, offering insights into human language skills in comparison to our closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Mills and colleagues are already attempting to use AI to try to tease out certain emotional states from facial expressions in cats, dogs and horses. He said there was no shortage of videos to work with – a truth universally acknowledged by anyone who has spent time on YouTube.
