Baidu is now working on something that might help with this. For those who don’t know, Baidu is a Chinese tech company founded in 2000, and is known for running the country’s biggest search engine. 

It wants to use AI to understand what animals are feeling or trying to say. The company recently filed a patent with the China National Intellectual Property Administration that describes a special system that could change animal sounds into human language. 

This system would use a mix of animal sounds, behaviour, and body signals to guess the animal’s emotions and then turn those emotions into words we can understand.
