Scientists Use AI to Decode Dog Barks

Researchers from the University of Michigan and Mexico’s National Institute of Astrophysics, Optics, and Electronics are using AI to interpret dog barks, aiming to identify emotions such as playfulness or anger.

They are also investigating if AI can determine a dog’s age, gender, and breed from its barks. By adapting AI models trained on human speech, the team achieved 70% accuracy in decoding dog vocalizations.

This study, presented at an international computational linguistics conference, showcases AI's potential to enhance our understanding of animal communication, potentially improving animal welfare.

Elon Musk Unexpectedly Drops Case Against OpenAI

Elon Musk has unexpectedly withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, just a day before a scheduled court hearing.

The lawsuit, filed in February 2023, accused OpenAI of breaching its founding contract by prioritizing profits over its mission to benefit humanity. Musk's legal team requested the dismissal "without prejudice," meaning it could be refiled later.

The move follows Musk's recent criticisms of Apple's partnership with OpenAI to enhance Siri using ChatGPT technology. This development continues the debate on conflicts of interest in for-profit and nonprofit AI collaborations.

Meta to Use Instagram Data for AI Training
