By ForGeeks Artificial intelligence could help us better understand animal emotions, including pain, fear and stress. The research, published in the journal Science, shows that AI systems are already capable of analyzing animal facial expressions and detecting signs of discomfort.

How does AI recognize animal emotions?”
.
Different teams of scientists are working on this around the world:
- Intellipig is a system being developed at University of the West of England at Bristol and the Scottish Agricultural College. It analyzes photographs of pig faces and alerts farmers if an animal is experiencing pain, stress or disease.
- The University of Haifa is creating an AI that can recognize discomfort in dogs. It is based on technology that has previously helped owners find missing pets.
- An AI capable of recognizing discomfort in dogs is being created.
- At the University of São Paulo, researchers trained AI to analyze the facial expressions of horses before and after surgery and the administration of painkillers. The AI self-identified signs of pain with 88% accuracy by focusing on the animals’ eyes, ears, and mouth.
What’s next?
Although these systems still require human input for initial training, researchers are confident in the future, AI will be able to independently interpret animals’ emotions, helping veterinarians, farmers and pet owners take better care of their pets.
For the future, AI will be able to understand animals’ emotions, helping veterinarians, farmers and pet owners take better care of their pets.
