ABSTRACT

Simple Summary Understanding how animals feel is essential for improving their welfare and strengthening their bond with humans. In this study, we explored how GPT-4, an advanced AI tool, can detect emotions in pets by analyzing their pictures. Our research had two main steps. First, we tested the AI tool on a variety of animals like cats and rabbits, but the accuracy was moderate. Then, we focused only on dogs, refining the instructions given to the AI tool, which led to much better results. The AI tool was able to recognize emotions like happiness, sadness, and anger in dogs with high accuracy. By examining how the AI tool explained its predictions, we learned about its strengths and where it struggled, especially with emotions that were harder to differentiate. This research shows how AI can help us better understand animals and create tools to support their well-being.
