A research team from the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Florida has developed an AI system capable of recognizing pain in goats by analyzing their facial expressions. This innovative approach aims to provide a more objective assessment of animal pain, which has traditionally relied on subjective observations. The study, published in Scientific Reports, demonstrates the AI's ability to achieve an 80% accuracy rate in identifying pain in goats.
The researchers believe that this AI technology could extend beyond goats to other animal species and even humans who cannot communicate verbally. By addressing pain recognition in animals, the potential exists to improve care for non-verbal patients, including children. Additionally, the team created a pain scale for goats, marking a significant advancement in veterinary medicine, although it currently applies only to male goats during specific procedures.
• AI achieves 80% accuracy in identifying pain in goats' facial expressions.
• The system may also help recognize pain in other animals and non-verbal humans.
Artificial Intelligence refers to computer systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as recognizing pain in animals.
Deep Learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks to analyze data, applied here to train the AI model on goat facial expressions.
