Transforming Animal Care Through Technology

The implementation of video-generative AI in animal behaviour modification encompasses several key areas:

1. Behavioural Enrichment

For captive animals, mental stimulation is crucial for wellbeing. AI-generated videos can provide targeted enrichment activities, helping to prevent boredom and encourage natural behaviours. Research using LabGym technology has demonstrated that animals respond positively to video-based stimuli, leading to increased activity and improved mental health.

2. Training and Rehabilitation

The system works by creating customised video content showing specific behaviours and tasks. This approach has proven particularly effective in rehabilitation scenarios, where animals can learn through observation without the stress of direct human intervention. Similar to successful AI-powered dog training systems, this technology can provide real-time feedback and adaptive learning opportunities.

3. Conservation Applications

Perhaps most exciting is the potential impact on wildlife conservation. By creating realistic simulations of survival skills and natural behaviours, we can better prepare endangered species for release into the wild. This technology builds upon existing conservation methods while adding a new layer of sophistication and effectiveness.
