New AI can identify and steer animal behavior with light-speed precision

Researchers have developed a sophisticated artificial intelligence system capable of tracking animal movements in real time and instantly influencing their behavior using targeted pulses of light.

A breakthrough system called DeepEthogram uses deep learning to recognize complex animal behaviors as they happen. By processing visual data at incredible speeds, the AI can trigger optogenetic hardware to stimulate specific neurons in a fraction of a second.
