Dr. Dolittle-like animal speech interpreter’s patent filed by Baidu in China

Baidu has patented an AI system to translate cat vocalizations into human language by analyzing sounds, behaviors, and physiological signals. The technology aims to recognize emotional states and convert them into semantic meanings. While still in research, it could enhance human-animal communication. Similar projects worldwide focus on decoding animal languages. The concept has sparked both enthusiasm and skepticism online, with many excited about understanding their pets better but questioning its practical effectiveness.
