Artificial Intelligence is Lending an Ear to Baby Chickens in Distress

Scientists have curated an Artificial Intelligence which can identify and count distress signals from chickens. The tool can be used by farmers to improve conditions for chickens raised on crowded commercial farms. As per the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, there were over 33 billion chickens around the world as of 2020. Many of them were living in poor conditions. However, now, the researchers have claimed that the AI which quantifies distress calls made by chickens housed in huge indoor sheds, can correctly distinguish these calls from other barn noises.
