, the company filed a patent with the China National Intellectual Property Administration proposing an AI-powered system to translate animal sounds.

But whether it’ll ultimately be successful in deciphering your dog’s barks or your cat’s meows remains to be seen. Despite years of research, scientists are still far from deciphering animal communication.

is hoping that the system could bring humans and their pets closer together. According to the company’s patent document, it could allow for a “deeper emotional communication and understanding between animals and humans, improving the accuracy and efficiency of interspecies communication.”

A spokesperson told Reuters that the system is “still in the research phase,” suggesting there’s still significant work to be done.

that it secured $17 million in grants to create language models that can identify the ways animals communicate with each other.

Researchers have also attempted to use machine learning to understand the vocalizations of crows and monkeys.

While a direct animal translation tool is more than likely still many years out, some scientists have claimed early successes. Last year, a team of scientists from SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence)
