Scientists say new AI can translate what chickens are saying
- Researchers in Japan have used artificial intelligence to interpret the emotional states of chickens, including hunger, fear, anger, contentment, excitement, and distress. They developed a system called Deep Emotional Analysis Learning , which adapts to the chickens' vocal patterns over time and achieves a high accuracy in identifying their mental states.
- The study involved recording and analyzing samples from 80 chickens, with the help of a team of animal psychologists and veterinary surgeons. The researchers believe that understanding animals' emotional states through AI can contribute to designing a better world for them. University of Tokyo professor Adrian David Cheok, the leader of the study, also plans to extend this AI technology to other animals.
- The research team acknowledged that their model's accuracy may vary with different breeds and environmental conditions, as well as the limitations of non-acoustic cues such as body language and social interactions in chicken communication. Nonetheless, their findings open up possibilities for using AI tools in conservation efforts to understand animal populations better.

Communicating with other species is one of the goals of many scientists. It has been tried with dogs, non-human primates and dolphins, but so far with mixed success. Of course, there had never been tried with chickens. As detailed in a study yet not peer-reviewed, a team led by Adrian David Cheok from the University of Tokyo, devised a “system capable of interpreting several states emotional effects in hens, including hunger, fear, anger, satisf…
