The Life Style of the CAT

Animals and the Artificial Intelligence

When animals talk, they never stop talking, but do they actually say anything? The birds that are outside my window are they? It turns out that they judged me first thing in the morning for staying up past sunrise. If only we could have a better understanding of what they were saying. Within the next year, it is possible that we will be able to use artificial intelligence to pave the way towards achieving this objective. It is possible that we will hear the first translations of animal languages; however, how are we going to accomplish this? We can bridge the enormous gap that exists between human and animal languages, which has always been something that has fascinated us throughout the course of human history.

Greek Time Stories about Animals

From stories of adventurers in ancient Greece discovering talking monsters to modern movie franchises, we have told stories of people communicating with animals. For ancient civilizations, animals were a vital resource and a constant thread, so they saw the idea of being able to communicate with them as a gift from the gods.  These days, we desire to communicate with our pets in the same manner as we do with the rest of our family. The exciting thing is that we might be able to achieve this sometime soon. The advent of more complex artificial intelligence and better methods for requiring large swaths of data have built a bridge to connect us to the animal world, but how does it work? The most common way that we translate between languages is to use two separate AIS: one that takes an input, let’s say English, and encodes it into a mathematical representation of a sentence called an embedding, and a second that takes that representation and decodes it into another language.

The Believe Of the Pythagoreans

Field research on behavior is of paramount importance for learning more about animal emotions, because emotions have evolved in specific contexts. Naturalizing the study of animal emotions will provide for more reliable data because emotions have evolved just as have other behavioral phenotypes. Pythagoreans long ago believed that animals experience the same range of emotions as humans and current research provides compelling evidence that at least some animals likely feel a full range of emotions, including fear, joy, happiness, shame, embarrassment, resentment, jealousy, rage, anger, love, pleasure, compassion, respect, relief, disgust, sadness, despair, and grief.

Charles Darwin Given Attention on the Animals Emotions 

Charles Darwin is usually credited with being the first scientist to give serious attention to the study of animal emotions. In his books On the Origin of Species (1859), The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871), and The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872), Darwin argued that there is continuity between humans and other animals in their emotional (and cognitive) lives; that there are transitional stages among species, not large gaps; and that the differences among many animals are differences in degree rather than in kind. it’s clear that many animals can understand words and commands from humans, Parrots and crows can vocalize, and non-human great apes can communicate by signing or using a keyboard, all at about the level of a toddler.
