Ever wished your cat could text you? 🐱 China's tech giant Baidu just filed a patent for an AI system that might finally decode fluffy grievances into human language! The project promises to turn meows, barks, and chirps into meaningful messages using animal voice analysis, behavioral tracking, and emotional mapping. 🧠💬
The patent outlines a three-step process: collect animal data (sounds + movements), process it through machine learning models, then translate emotions like “hungry” or “playtime now!” into words. Baidu claims this could deepen human-animal bonds—though critics on Weibo joke, “What if my pet just wants to roast me?” 😂
This isn’t just about household pets. Globally, groups like the Earth Species Project are using AI to crack whale “dialects,” while Baidu’s move follows its push into advanced AI models like Ernie 4.5 Turbo. 🚀
A Baidu spokesperson told us the tech is still in R&D phase—so don’t expect a “Dog-to-English” app soon. But with 52% of Gen Z pet owners saying they’d buy this tech, the market could be huge. 🤑🐶
