AI system can detect nine different emotional states in FARM ANIMALS

An AI-powered computer system has been created which identifies the emotional state of farm animals and if they are happy or not. It is hoped that better understanding how animals are feeling can help improve their living conditions and quality of life. Thousands of images of cows and pigs from six farms around the world were used to train the network, called WUR Wolf, which was accurate 85 per cent of the time. An AI-powered computer system has been created which identifies the emotional state of farm animals and if they are happy or not. Pictured one of the images the system was trialled on which reveals a pig which was classified as'alert and neutral' Deep learning algorithms were used to identify 13 facial actions which included difference in an animal's ears, eyes and behaviour.,
