A group of scientists from Japan claimed to have succeeded in translating chicken clucking on a large scale using artificial intelligence technology.

Artificial intelligence technology, which is shown as the technology of the future and whose rapid development has caused controversy, was used in an unusual field this time.

A group of scientists from Japan claimed that they were able to translate chicken clucking to a large extent using artificial intelligence technology. The team, led by University of Tokyo Professor Adrian David Cheok, together with 8 animal psychologists and veterinary surgeons, analyzed 200 hours of clucking sounds from 80 chickens.

Coding each different frequency with one of the emotions of hunger, fear, anger, satisfaction, excitement and boredom, the team first uploaded 100 hours of chicken sounds to the artificial intelligence application. The team then played another 100 hours of chicken sounds to the AI and concluded that the AI correctly identified the emotional states of chickens at a rate of 80 percent.

University of Tokyo Professor Adrian David Cheok stated that the technology, which they call "Deep Emotional Analysis Learning", is based on complex mathematical algorithms. Saying that the results show that artificial intelligence can be used to understand the emotional states of chickens based on sound signals, Cheok described the study, which has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, as "a major scientific stage and just the beginning."
