A Chinese AI tech startup may have just come up with a way to help you understand your pets a whole lot better.
Tech startup Meng Xiaoyi claims to have developed an AI-powered collar that can translate what your pets are saying. So if your dog barks, your cat meows, or a bird sings at you, the collar is supposedly able to understand and translate that into human language for you.
The company also claims the collar can translate what you are saying into a language pets can understand.
According to the firm, the collar can recognise vocalisations, emotions, and behavioural language with an accuracy approaching 95 per cent. However, these are solely claims made by the company, and so far, there have been no third-party verifications.
How does it work?
The company says the collar is equipped with microphones, motion sensors, and AI to read body language and vocalisations. The translation is built around Alibaba Cloud’s Qwen AI model, which is said to have been trained on millions of pet vocal samples.
Even though there is no official confirmation regarding the validity of these claims, Meng Xiaoyi says it has already received over 10,000 pre-orders for the collar at a starting price of 799 yuan (BD44).
