“When the app starts up, you see Elvis the donkey, and the idea is you’re asking a donkey, ‘who’s that donkey over there?'” said Mr Pattison. <\/p>\n
The app will then show the donkey’s name and a link to webpage where visitors can learn more about that animal. <\/p>\n
And asked if donkeys respond to their name, Mr Pattison said they do. <\/p>\n
He said in future the sanctuary hoped to work with scientists from the university to see if AI could also help monitor for health issues in the animals – but that project has not got off the ground yet. <\/p>\n
“At the moment we will pick it up (the health issue), but we might not pick it up immediately,” he said. “[The donkeys] don’t give out much, they’re very stoic – so we have to look for subtle clues,” he added. <\/p>\n
“The message is that AI isn’t just for big state enterprises.<\/p>\n
“If you’ve got an idea, it can help you out – you just need to approach the problem from a different point of view.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“When the app starts up, you see Elvis the donkey, and the idea is you’re asking a donkey,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":194537,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-194536","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-technology","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114704705354162011","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194536","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194536"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194536\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/194537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194536"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194536"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194536"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
