Pet translator to help dogs and human communicate
New Delhi : Dogs will soon be able to talk to humans with the help of a latest Artificial Intelligence technology, says a US-based scientist.
The United States scientists are believed to be working on an instrument that is capable of turning dog's bark into the human language with the help of artificial intelligence.
According to a report in NBC News, Dr Con Slobodchikoff, from Northern Arizona University has spent more than 30 years studying prairie dogs and the sophisticated way they communicate.
Based on the results of his long study, an algorithm has been prepared that turns prairie dogs' vocalisations into English.
According to Slobodchikoff, prairie dogs make high-pitched calls to warn others of predators.
"I thought, if we can do this with prairie dogs, we can certainly do it with dogs and cats," Slobodchikoff was quoted as saying.
Slobodchikoff and his team have been studying thousands of dog videos to learn bark pattern and also their body language. The videos will be used to teach an AI algorithm about these communication signals.
"This kind of technology could help humans better understand dogs and their behaviour. You could use that information and instead of backing the dog into a corner, give the dog more space," Slobodchikoff said.
