AI will tell the emotions of animals, like when your cow is hungry

Researchers have also started studying the animal's faces with artificial intelligence (AI) such that their pain and emotional states can be determined. A report indicates several research centers are working with computer vision and AI models to recognize signs of pain and emotional states of animals, more notably those of agricultural importance. This is one of the very limited specific use cases of the technology and if sufficiently trained with quality data, a large language model can inform in real-time if the animal needs help or not.

According to a report by Science.org, many researchers are studying whether AI can be reliably used to monitor the well-being of animals on farms. In this direction, a system called "Intellipig" has been developed, which has been created by researchers from the University of the West of England Bristol (UWE) and the Rural College of Scotland (SRUC). The project is currently in its beta testing phase.

The researchers have implemented this system in farms and hundreds of pigs are being monitored through it. According to the report, every morning a picture of each pig is taken, then they are identified using AI, and each pig is given specific food.
