According to surveys, the proportion of households in Taiwan that own pets is as high as 62.5%, with more than 90% of working individuals spending an average of 2.5 hours per day interacting with their pets. Despite owners' attentive care, pets still struggle to accurately express their emotions and needs. With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI), we are heading towards a future where we can better understand our pets' mental and emotional states.

What is AI Pet Communication?
AI pet communication does not mean that we can directly "speak" with pets or understand their language. Instead, it involves systems that analyze and assist pet owners in interpreting their pets' emotions, needs, and behaviors more accurately. Through emotion recognition, behavior analysis, and voice recognition, AI can help understand pets' psychological states, health conditions, and even their likes and dislikes.

Specific Applications Include:

1. Accurate Emotion and Need Recognition
   One of the major advantages of AI pet communication is its ability to help owners better understand their pets' emotions and needs. Many behavioral problems in pets (such as excessive barking, aggressive behavior, and destructive chewing) often stem from emotional fluctuations. AI can analyze data from pets to identify the causes of these emotional shifts and offer solutions for the owners. For example, by analyzing a dog’s barking frequency and tonal changes, AI can detect anxiety or excitement, helping owners adjust the environment or their behavior accordingly.
2. Health Monitoring and Alert System
   AI health monitoring systems can continuously track pets' physiological data, detecting diseases and health issues in real-time. For example, AI can determine if a pet is overly fatigued or anxious based on its activity patterns and predict potential health problems, allowing owners to take preventive measures ahead of time.

AI is changing the way we interact with our pets. In the future, pet ownership and health management will become more intelligent and precise, improving pets' quality of life while strengthening the bond between owners and their pets.
